Keep in mind that I've only used it for a couple weeks, that being said, so far so good kzread.infoUgkxAU9pOCSV9Y5JprooHvfxTpOrt4hx8uRM . Using it at 8 ft. by 8ft. deer blind that is insulated. I have to keep the door cracked for it to get enough air to burn, but that is very likely the wood I've used. Much better quality than I expected for the price. Now if I can just take it easy in the beginning it won't be 90 degrees in my blind. All in all it seems like a keeper.

You can make your own improved door gaskets by laying a thin bead of silicone in the areas where there are gaps, then placing a piece of waxed paper over the silicone to prevent it from sticking to the door. Close the door to compress the silicone and let it dry overnight. In the morning, remove the waxed paper, and you have a new custom door seal. I also used this method to repair a failed refrigerator door gasket.

@@wilbertortiz9469 we bought a used small New Englander. I understand they are sold at big box stores. It was hard to find any where we lived when we got it. Maybe others will have advice for you. All best.

We lived with wood-burning our whole lives and you're on the right half you know what you're doing

Also, for your single panes, if you have any windows where you don't mind losing a bit of the view, get a roll of bubble wrap and cut pieces to fit those windows. You can attach the bubble wrap just by spraying a mist of water on the window, then pressing the BW onto the glass. We sometimes have to put a small piece or two of two-sided tape, but this really makes a difference in winter. You can use a sharpie to write a little code on each piece so when you take them off in spring and store them, you will know the next autumn where to reinstall the BW. The light still goes through the BW, but you do lose some of the view. We found that large bubble BW works better and gives more of a view than the small bubble BW. HTH.

That shepherd's a sweet old timer! God bless you for keeping him warm with that great system!

Couple additions to all those good tips 1) Check temperature of wall behind the stove. You will find it is hot. Why heat a poorly insulated wall? So, I put Al sheet to reflect the IR back into the room. Now the wall is 'cool' and room is warmer. 2) Have routed incoming air via a dryer hose to a 8" pipe around the 6" exhaust pipe, input is at bottom of the 8" pipe and the bottom is sealed. The 8" pipe is 24" long and sits on top of the damper. Incoming air is heated and creates positive pressure in the house reducing smoke leaking and brings in fresh air to the house. Whereas fresh going directly to stove per the video does not allow as much fresh air into the house. We do have to add humidity to the house because cold outside air, when heated, has very low relative humidity.

I clad the wall behind my stove with stone. It looks good and absorbs heat to act as an extra thermal mass.

I love wood heat. Everything gets warm, furniture, walls, floors, etc. Gas fired furnaces only heat the air. You have a very smart setup there. I miss heating with wood. I have to go out to my garage to enjoy a wood stove now, but that’s ok ‘cause it’s where my toys and beers are kept. Cheers!

I love to see a guy making do with what he has available, and as a bonus it works really well. I’m watching my Jotul burning right now. With heating oil at $5 plus (and going up!) I’m glad I have about 5 cords of oak, hickory, cherry, maple, ash and even a little pine - all cut, split, seasoned and stacked under a barn overhang. I worked HARD to get it to this point. There are not many things as satisfying in life as standing back and admiring your firewood all ready to burn. You KNOW it’s going to put out the stored energy within it when you need it. Wood heat, baby!

I appreciate learning about the outside air draw. That is a game changer. If the stove has a flange for the dryer duct to slip onto it can likely be secured with a hose clamp once and not be a recurring chore. I did the conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius, -24 is a good day to stay closer to home or put on the heavy winter jacket. :)

I like the idea of the stove getting its air source from the outside rather than the inside and that you have a fan moving that hot air in the basement. You are creating a positive air pressure in the house thus reducing and or eliminating any incoming drafts. Only downside I can forsee is that it must be maintained whenever it's colder outside than it is inside or else you're going to feel drafty!

One big suggestion Allow the colder air to enter your cold storage room first before you allow it to burn in your stove, The cold storage room will always have an exchange of fresh cold air, and any contaminated air or fouled air gets burned up, especially in spring when potatoes can become very dangerous and give off toxic fumes that kill.

The reason you get more drafts when the woodstove gets air from inside the home is because that air becomes heated and rises up the chimney creating a partial vacuum in the home. It doesn't matter if you're heating your home with a furnace or woodstove, both will cause that partial vacuum. In fact a clothes dryer is probably the worst because it pushes a lot of warm house air out of the house, only to be replaced by cold outside air via 'holes' to the outside. They often emphasize that we should plug those leaks, but I feel we should change the source of air for these appliances.
