You may want to add another length of pipe on your chimney to bring the height of your exterior pipe a bit higher above your roof. This may create a better draft for your stove and move the smoke up and out the pipe and not into your house.

Yeah, I ran out so I have one here to add. I talked to a different stove guy for another project and he said it wouldn't make too much difference tucked in the woods with that small a roof but I think your right. I got a better bracket to hold the pipe up too. I think the horizontal part is running down hill a bit. What I did notice is that if I fill it all the way and let it burn down so it's good and hot before I open the door for the first time it gets drafting better.

Why don’t people know this about stove pipes! They need to be taller than the peak or other articles in the area (trees) in order to get the right draft! Research installing a wood stove before you put one in!! I have seen so many videos where people can’t figure out why their stove back drafts on them or won’t draw properly. Google it!

​@@buildlifestart backwards most of whole then forwards, sometimes it helps to prevent breakout on the back by finishing off backwards if you want a clean whole

30 something years ago I lived in an uninsulated house in Northern Scotland over a particularly icey winter. The house was in the middle of nowhere down a very muddy farm track. We had a small pot bellied stove in the main room. It was made of cast iron and was from an old railway workers hut that had burned down and we 'rescued' it from the rubble. We did what you did with the corrugated metal siding to act as a heat reflector around the back. One of the differences with our set up was we hung large woollen blankets (from a charity shop) on the walls to act as insulation. It worked really well and that quite large room was always toasty toasty. Maybe you could try this idea in your shed. Putting the stove on a solid stone slab will also help. Both to protect the floor, but also to act as a heat sink. As you probably know, stone is a great storer of heat. Which is beneficial in a small uninsulated shed. Anyways, I hope this helps.............

Cool cabin, I think the size of that stove is actually going to be perfect for that. It gets so damn hot in little cabins and small spaces with wood heat. You definitely need a draft to keep it comfortable when you're trying to sleep. One thing you got going for you, that place is about as insulated as a potato chip, You kind of built it like a fort instead of framing it like a house. That gives you a lot of draft which will very much be safe for you. Just a little trick from an old frame carpenter, next time you have to cut a hole that big just get what's called a rescue blade for your sawzall, put it on the high setting and move slowly with it. It'll cut it really clean. I like the hole saw though, that was pretty cool. I guess that would be manhole size, haha!

I have what I assume will be a silly question. Could you run the chimney pipe all around the inside of the cabin before it exits to radiate more of the heat inside? Or would the extra distance add too much back pressure and the smoke/fumes would travel back and extinguish the fire/occupants.

@buildlife

Yeah the more direct the better I suppose but I see allot of guys doing stuff like that with water or fans so they are directing the heat not necessarily the smoke.

There are minimum height requirements for vent pipes to get proper drafting there should be very minimal horizontal runs or none . Raise the pipe and always if possible go straight up. You also need a fresh air source to create the draft so you definitely do not want an air tight building or an outside fresh air vent adjacent to the stove.

If you made a water filled bench that had a copper thermo-siphoning loop under the bottom of the stove... while your having a fire, the water gets hoter in the bench and than slowly emirates heat through out the night and morning long after the fire has gone out.

Sounds like it should cost more LOL!

Wanna stop the smoke coming out the front of your stove, then make your exit pipe larger.

yeah allot of things like that!

Your horizontal piece of pipe has to be perfectly level or up on the outside just a little. It is sloped the wrong way. Just a little bit of slope the wrong way will make it smoke when the door is opened.

Yep, I have already corrected it!

I did notice you have a gap on the whole length of the doors right side. That might be something look at.

Yeah, as many people say make one to help the stove vent. It's a learning process I guess.

The hot pipe bolted against your eve seems problematic. Also, has anyone ever hung a reflective survival blanket between the flu pipe and the wall. In theory wouldn't that double the invisible infared light wave heat radiating into the room from the pipe?

I bet it would work. This little stove doesn't get crazy hot so I'm not too worried but something to watch for sure!

Be careful with that long 90 degree angle with your stove pipe. My bad experience might save you the trouble. I had a gradual build up of soot in the flat spot I had because I had the same type of long horizontal chimney pipes. A piece of kindling kind of popped and flew up there and ignited the whole thing and I had a full blown fire. Lesson learned.

no good. This one comes apart pretty easy so I can knock the pieces out.

these little stoves are cute but not made for constant use per say. now there are these little cast iron stoves you can get... Canadian Tire, Home Depout USA, Lowe, they all carry the same epa 2020 stove. price runs between 549-699. While expensive... ish... for a cabin up to 900 square feet its a good option. humor here is you could run a wood stove, with a small 3kw diesel heater for fast heat/overnight/low maintenance, and a propane buddy heater as emergency backup.

Yeah I've been looking at those little diesel heaters. I've seen guys run the exhaust through a radiator to recapture the heat. I will be trying out a no electric pellet stove soon that is supposed to have up to a 24 hour burn time!

@@buildlife yeah, thats why i like the diesel heaters. even if you don't do a single fancy thing with them... their fuel usage is about .0925 gal/hr. or running at max power about 2.2 gal/day. the key is you can set them running with thermostats... so turn it on... set it for what temp you want then... start your fire... burn your fire till you go to bed. if the fire burns out and the temp drops, the heater then kicks in. once you wake up and restart the fire... the heater auto-turns off :)

@@buildlife oh little tricks you can do to help with heat. Curtains - many think they are just decorative but in reality their original purpose was insulation. you will often loose heat or get drafts from windows, so hanging floor length curtains over them, helps. Door Curtains called Portière in french. A cloth or hide covering placed over the door to stop drafts coming through and under the door. Carpeting - used to insulate the floor and prevent drafts from coming up from floor board spacing. Also tended to me more comfortable to walk in in winter then bear floor. you could very easily theme these, for example going all hides, with deer hides over the windows and door, and a fur rug on the floor. As an alternitive you could go for wool, in Hudson's Bay Colors blue yellow red green. For the windows and a cowichan pattern wool door covering.

I'm 68 & never "took" a leak in my life.... BUT i hv left lotsa em.

It’s interesting to read comments when channels are first starting out. For some reason it seams like people are kind of rude and very know it all ish. Diesel creek had some real hecklers for a bit but they eventually seemed to disappear or he just blocked them haha
