You can fit a back boiler to a morso, well worth doing. Install a radiator in the bedroom problem solved, much better than burning a second load of fuel in a second stove.

Nice one guys. Rambler's looking great Benny, big shout out to Keith for his skilled assistance ...and a big shout out to Alan for her un-wavering support! 😄😄👍👍

I love watching things come together nicely and the "steampunk" flue is really nice! Very cool how it leaves a space for a kettle on top.

I love the contrast between the dark burner and the bright flue

How awesome that Benny and Keith were able to install a new wood burner into Rambler. Now your little boat has heart and soul to sing, dance, and cruise in comfort and cozy-warmth. 🔥🌈🧡🎶🪕🎸

Ben - Frezzing me Knackers off Emily- Brass door knobs Alan- Still winning :D As always a sense of humour, much love to yous

You could try putting a bag in the fire so when you push down ,it all goes in the bag xx

Good idea. Take the top plate out first ?

The closing credits with the pallet wood on the wall looks so good 😊can’t wait till next time

So pleased that you shared the install of the Mighty No. 1 with us! There's nothing like a log/coal burner for real warmth, especially if you can persuade someone else to clean the chimney...There are several alternative ways of de-sooting the chimney. The Victorians used a small child, or a live chicken, or a small holly bush. I thought Alan was looking anxious ...Thanks!

I want a tiny boat. That cute wood burner. Think I'm falling for Rambler. Its surprising what you can fit in a tiny boat. 💚

You can begin to see in Rambler, the same homely style of Roisin Dubh developing, as Benny progresses with the fit out. Not sure how much office and studio, versus home it will be, but a cooker is going in, so interesting to see.

Ive lived on my boat for 24 years and the first thing people ask is " is it cold in winter". I tell them i sit in candle light shivering with a dew drop on the end of my nose 😅😅😅. Actually my first winter was a steep learning curve but since then ive been toasty. I heat the boat with a kabola diesel boiler running four radiators.

Nothing better than wood and coal heat 👍👍👍💯💯💯. Rambler is coming along nicely 😊. Ben is doing awesome job 💯💯

Love watching other people work and you get A for effort. As an old tired trades inspector a few things for what it’s worth. The flue/chimney is going to be difficult to clean with the offsets. To clean it properly you will have to disassemble it behind the stove which will be messy. The best way is always to make the flue/chimney go straight vertical into the stove like your other boat so the brush cleans it throughout. Another thing is where it penetrates the roof it should be all noncombustible metal with 1” air space clearance around the pipe. It’s possible to get a chimney fire if you get distracted and forget the draft open. Creosote chimney fires can burn like a torch approx 2400f.

The little stove looks great 🎉🎉 did you know you can get a 'back boiler' that goes inside the Morso and it will run a radiator or two for the bedroom, I had one on my 50 barge and it worked really well, used 22mm pipe so no pump required just worked on convection with the hot water,

I was counting the " yea's" at the end 😂

I love that stove, burning both wood and coal. Your boat decor is cozy and charming and once you're finished remodeling, it's going to be a beautiful place to call home.

Love the wood stoves! And I TOTALLY understand your fear of heights!!😩😖

That Jackery looks great

So cool, love the install!

Thanks Benny got my CD thay little log burner looks great

I ❤ your vlogs. I look forward to them every Saturday. Congrats on the new wood burner and great progress on the Rambler. Lots of ❤ from Arizona 🇺🇸.

Love it the mini stove is v cute addition, we are learning so much from you both 🎉❤

The best way for you to stay worm in the morning is to stay in bed until Ben has the fire going

Its looking good

Brilliant 😊😊 loving following you xx

Just to say, I used a pipsqueak on a Norman 23 for 6 years ,living full time. I’m not criticising for the sake of it ,just being factual, Your flue run is too close to the wall,you would be safer to angle round to 45 degrees, I guarantee that the flue heat will be far higher than you think. The rubberised collar will work fine. Obviously you have to cut wood to about eight inches but you can top load. To comply with boat safety regulations you will need to anchor the base plate down.I’m open to any sensible discussion regarding the aforesaid. Great little stove btw . Top tip, the baffle plate is held in with a Philips head bolt, change it immediately for a robust bolt that you can get a socket on, you will need to remove it to flue clean properly. Also make it a weekly job to flue clean. Hope this all makes sense.

That little stove looks awesome.

Have a great week ahead 💗😊

That pipsqueak is so cute 🥰

Hi Ben and Emily. Great job sweeping that flue. Definitely a good idea as winter starts to bite. Nice job getting the stove fitted in Rambler It looks so good and I hope that it kicks out enough heat. Take care. Nick

Thankyou great watch as always x

Well done team on getting the burner in! It looks fab, and with that and your jackery you’ll be able to work much faster now to hopefully get it mostly done before the worst of the winter weather sets in!

Look at all that lovely sticky coal smoke: Beautiful.

Great job Benny, now Rambler is toasty for winter too.

Rambler is coming on great

Congrats on the Jackory, these power boxes are so brilliant. I have got a different make but find it so useful when working on my boat and even use it to power my microwave. Awesome!

You need a fan to put in the hall to move warm air to the back in the winter

Wow Benny that burner is cute, really makes one look forward to winter. Down under in NZ we have a hot summer to get through. Cheers Ben & Emily.

Thanks for your video and showing the time you have to put into your style of life which is where you have taken my ❤️ and I love it as well as your wood and coal burner. 😊 Ben and Emily I wish you all the best 🙏💗

Em's De-Embering Service. 😁...Benny's Palletwood Architecture. Cool little stove! Love that! You guys, and David's Cruising The Cut, are officially the only narrowboat channels I truly love, and never miss an episode of, and you all feel like my family. ❤

Lol😂the crawling! That’s me!

Hi guys 🥰🤗👋🏾 magnificent progress with Rambler, so glad you have such great friends like Keith 🤗Also loving the way Alan models the Jackery as a warm platform for small animals 🤭🥰😂 I watched the ads, hope it helps 🥰take care until next time 👋🏾🤗

Looking amazing. Fun to see you making great progress. Look forward to your Xmas vids. 👍🏻

woooooooo HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE...NEWBY HERE...LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING RAMBLER BUILD AS I WOULD LOVE ONE...

Ребята, вы классные !

It's so nice to watch a DIY install and it to be good! For tiling behind the sink on flexible ply, consider good quality self adhesive mosaic tiles. They have a little bit of give, but you can still grout them, so look and feel good. Plus very easy to install on inverted faces etc..

Watched your freezy weather episode wearing only my cut-offs, with a t shirtover my head and my phone so's I could see the screen. Mind, I have been lighting the burner in the house at night... but only to keep the Spanish cats warm !! Looks good Benny! Papa xx

its coming along nice benny bro 😸

Congrats on the mini stove! It’s so cute and appears to be perfect. Rambler is really coming along. No Alan cam, 🥲🤣✨🙋🏼‍♀️

Arghh at last heat and yes I agree it is like its ❤️ lol had to laugh at the tiny tools for it lol I still think your making great progress and now you have heat there really is no stopping you and it will be nice to keep it aired too and keep mould at bay. Look after yourselves and Alan see in the next video can't wait 😀 ❤😂 xx

lovely as always :)

top tip, one or two little computer fans to circulate the air and maintain a constant temp at the back of the boat., roof to the rear, floor to the burner. they dont take much power but make a big difference an hour before bedtime.

@R0ckMum

Or you can get the fans that use no power, they use heat. You leave it on top of the stove, it heats up and starts spinning and only stops when the fire dies right down. It works by convection and heat radiation through the metal. Science.

Great burner Benny, and Keith with stovepipe install. tremendous chimney cleaning Emily. Good endorsement, Alan. If you do go with slate pieces for under the heater fireplate, make them from Wales.

Watch yourself Emily ,can see Ben moving to Ramble ,see he loves his boat ,😊

Rambler is looking really good :)

One comment. You have put the stove on a plinth. As we all know heat rises. Installing a stove should be as close to the floor as possible. Your setup has the potential of having your feet in Alaska and your body in tropical Africa.

That's why canal boats have fans, it circulates the warm air all around

But it's a lot easier to use a mini burner like that when it's lifted a bit - you don't need to bend double or kneel down everytime you want to do anything with it.

@BrassLock

Such a rash generalisation about the effect of raising the stove on a plinth has only mild entertainment value for the Chattering Class, but provides no useful information for experienced Narrowboaters, or indeed casual onlookers The Austin 7 had a thermal cooling system that distributed heat from the engine without a water pump. Such thermal distribution of heat will apply inside Rambler too, due to air circulation and human activity.

Those fans on top really help with that.

@arnolddill

@@monza1002000The typical stove top fans will move warm air horizontally along the boat reasonably well. But that heat will still rise rather than fall to lower levels.

Black boiler suit is best for cleaning wood burner 😊

Rambler is looking mighty fine. Loving the Pipsqueak Multi-burner. Perhaps Emily would like one for the bedroom? Alan sure was a big help with the installation, her expertise is invaluable when it comes to fitting out wee Rambler. Hope you all are well ~ keep warm ~ as always Lacy, Mike & Hamish🐾🤗💞 FYI ~ Making a little side door in the back of the platform the stove sits on. Then you could reach the very back without trouble. Sort of a little hide-dee-hole. 🤣

Take the baffle plate (top metal plate) out first then brush down and empty before replacing plate. Slightly less horrible that way.

For all those in the comments saying it is illegal to burn coal (there is a big difference between house coal, which most boaters have never used as it’s really dirty and and the types you can burn) - please check your facts instead of accusing people of breaking the law

Definitely steampunk!

AWESOME!. I wondered about how you were gona heat her

Nice little stove. Oct here has mostly been at -6C The little wood stove in the Kitchen has kept the house warm. Last couple weeks of Nov dropped to -12C. Had to have a short fire in the pellet stove in the main room once to maybe twice a day. Now it's -17C I think the pellet stove is going to run 3 times a day. It's still warm for Alaska.. Always thought it would be interesting fitting out the inside of a Narrow boat. Well done!

Can't wait for next week already !! :D

Just a thought, you could buy a big strong baking sheet and attach it to the wall behind the stove for protection.

You should take up chimney cleaning for all the other boats 😊

Loved your video . Thanks for clearing up the myth of freezing conditions in canal boats over the winter . Someone else has already said about installing a radiator , but I reckon a small insulated hot water storage tank would be worth considering too . I installed a whole coal fired back boiler system with tanks and radiators in my first house with no previous plumbing experience . If you use copper piping , which I did , choose pipe fittings which are pre soldered , called Yorkshire fittings . For a plumbing newby these make decent connections with relative ease over just copper fitting which need to be fed solder . My back boiler , the same sort of fire as you have basically but including a built in water heating jacket , had a thermostatically controlled air vent . This was a mechanically controlled device , it was not electrically controlled . I mention this because a few times I found that ash particles had been spat out of the grate and had fallen into the vent area . This meant the vent could not close properly causing the fire to roar out of control . That could be very dangerous . Ensure the vent areas are clean , especially before going to bed or leaving the fire unattended . This might not apply to the design of your fire , just saying ! There are devices you can buy that sit on the fire that act on the rising heat and turn a fan which helps spread the heat about .... Have a warm Xmas . Cheers and thanks again !

Hello Ben/Emily,loving your videos. With regards to heating your Bedroom area have you thought about something like a camping gas Heater?? They`re about £30 on line and even come with the little gas canisters. That way you don`t lose any living space,can easily move it where required,it wont drain your batteries and can stow it away in the Summer months+ a couple of curtains to trap the heat in the bedroom area. 🙂

I love your wee rambler with the wee stove. A grown up play house😅. I've just re done my wood stove. Ouch $250 dollars for getting the glass fittings renewed and new firebricks (which I had to resize, fortunately I have a grinder) . To give an idea of that, that's half my weekly NZ pension! Next I need to give the chimney a proper sweep now I have a brush. Using a stick and rag only sort of works and not the whole way down. So we'll be right for next year. Though the way the weather has been lately, cold and wet all spring and rare days of warmth . I might be having a fire for Christmas.

Whingeing kiwi ? Over here on the West Island we need solar fired freezers ? 😂

Maybe try and have like wood peelings to help start the small one easier????? Another great one!

Lovely set up. Great the rain held off until the fire was installed! So now will Alan have deux pieds a terre??

I think you can use a Pellet feeder you can use with that stove

When you did the close up on the lovely new fire it looked like GIANT coal 😂😂. Great video guys 💜
