I LOVE wood heat! I grew up in old farm houses and the rule was at night if you got up to use the bathroom, you put wood in the stove. With seven people in the family, it was always full! Great video! Love the wood stoves you showed!

I grew up on a farm and we heated our whole house but the kitchen and that had it's own stove... so my mom only had the electrical bill and that wasn't much, I believe?

That house is almost a museum piece with all those wood stoves. The tile ovens were popular in Germany too (kachelofen). There is a movement in the US to go back to tile ovens in a more DIY fashion. It’s called Rocket Mass Heaters. Short burn time, long thermal mass heating time.

I've heated with wood for the past 50 years and love the warmth that wood stove gives off.

Great to see someone who shares my admiration for these types of beautiful old cast iron wood stoves! - thank you for sharing!!

I remember going to visit my great grandpa over the holidays with my parents when I was a kid, and standing in front of his two burner wood stove just soaking up the heat after chores was heaven. He had a 3 burner coal oil (kerosene) cookstove in the kitchen that worked exactly like lighting a kerosene lamp. It was so neat to watch him cook on that stove; one burner had an oven over top of it and he made the best biscuits. Y'all got me tripping down memory lane!

I lived in Bavaria when I was about 20 years old (I'm 63 now) and a square design of those tile stoves is what a lot of places have as a source of heating and they are AMAZING

Thank you for showing us these wood burners, not only warm & cosy but beautiful to look at too.

Whoa! Those ovens are incredibly beautiful! And yes, wood heat is the BEST!

Got appreciate the design and history of wood stows and heaters :)

all these stoves were absolutely wonderful i really like the holding onto tradition instead of out with the old in with the new which seems to be the way we do things generally here in the U.S. every stove he showed had character and function

Love the cast iron stove there's nothing like it .. thanks for sharing your video

Simply beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Wood heat is is just comfortable..the top of all wood stoves is for cooking but above all is for water. Wood is a very dry heat. Put a pan of water on and you have a humidifier..love it!!

That little Jotul is amazing. I don't have one but I've experienced the heat it gave off in an old house about thirty years ago. I envy your stockpile of firewood!

is it me or did anyone else get that " BOB ROSS" feeling while listening to his voice? Really amazing old home , and very cool wood stoves. Thank you Swedish Bob Ross for showing us.

The Kakelugn stoves are beautiful. I believe they are the same technology as the Kachelofen, the Finnish Stove, the Russian Stove, which was used in many European countries historically. Here in Canada the technology is referred to as Masonry Heater. We had our masonry heater installed in our country home in 2004, to heat an 1800 square foot house, one heater. Ours was faced with rescued brick, and as you say, we fired it once or twice a day depending on the outdoor temperature and wind chill. Ours could keep the house above freezing for two days, without a firing, once it was fully charged. It was insanely expensive to install, we hired a stone mason to do the job, and he was at our house full time for weeks to complete the job.

I grew up in Oklahoma USA, on a ranch, we had wood heat, I miss it

Thank you. This made my day. I really enjoy when a person is thankful and appreciative of the simple things in life. A grateful heart is a good heart. I actually felt joy in seeing how much you enjoy wood stoves. :-)

last summer I went into a fireplace store in Los Angeles and I saw this adorable little stove. Nobody knew anything about it and they were trying to get rid of it. So they gave a great price. It turned out to be the Jotul 602. Can't wait to use when I buy my cabin.

Wow, you are so lucky to have these jems from a past and forgotten era !!! Preserve and enjoy forever 🙏.

Love these old stoves and just the whole feel and look.

I love my Jotul stove which heats my entire 900 sf house. There is nothing better than wood heat and also great to watch the fire while drinking wine at night.

I absolutely love, love, LOVE wood heat! When we lived in Oregon we had a very large wood stove that would hold huge logs. Once we had the logs going, it would smolder all night long, heating our house which was more long than wide. Even the bedrooms and bathrooms in the back stayed warm. They say that wood heats you twice - once when you split it and again when you burn it. I can attest to that! I actually loved splitting wood. If you have any frustrations from the day, this is a great way to burn them off. lol We also had an electric furnace with floor vents, but I don't think we ever used it. There is simply nothing that can compare to wood heat.

Back in 2004 in Arkansas, we had an ice storm that knocked out everything for two weeks. It didn't thaw for a week. The first house I bought had a large Schrader cast iron fireplace with 6" brass air knobs on the front. We kept a fire going in that stove for two weeks, and the house (3400 sq ft, all on one level) stayed around 60 at the ends and 80 or so in the family room. I recall chipping ice for hours then coming in and sitting in front of that stove. What a pleasure it was. Thank you for sharing! I really enjoyed it!

Simply beautiful stoves! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for the tour and showing your traditional stoves. I also heat my shop with wood and use to heat the house with one small American made steel stove, called a Temp Wood top loading stove. I got them about 1969 when we moved to the country, in S.E. Illinois,USA. My boys were young ( around 4 & 7 ) I was fearful the might open a door and coals wood roll out. The draft control is about two, 2" holes with a sliding steel plate cover over them to control air flow. I still use the one in the shop all winter. I spent as much as the stove for Insulated SS chimney. The only heat that comes close to wood heat is Geothermal which we have in the house now. Yes the wood stove still sits in the house for back up heat. We have went as long as 4 days snowed in and no electricity. We can slow cook food on top of them. Thanks again , Vic

Your parents house is beautiful. Much respect and please thank them for letting us in there beautiful home. And yes I know this is 5 year old.

Wonderful video! Those older stoves are works of art...so beautiful. I grew up cooking and heating with the old fashioned stoves. There is nothing like wood for heating a home. Thanks for sharing.

Having been born and raised in rural US and having lived in cities for 42 years, I am completely enchanted by rustic cabins and the heaters such as you demonstrated. Haven't seen this type thing since I was a young child.

Beautiful. Wood heat is so warm and consistent

Thank you. Wish I had a Jotul fireplace. I'll have to check around. You have a nice collection!

Great video. You might consider adding a masonry heater if you can afford to. They are expensive to construct, but they are super efficient and with a ton or more of thermal mass they radiate the heat for 12 hours or more. Those beautiful Swedish tile ovens are a type of masonry heater.

Not often do we experience the exquisite nature of the creative mind. These beautiful stoves have launched me into a quest to find one for my home. Thank you.

I love wood stoves. You have some beauties. You have a nice woodpile too.

I’ve had wood since 50 yrs. it’s supreme! I like how you’ve just hucked the wood into the shed. I’ve painstakingly piled it in rows. No need to really!

Such a wonderful tour of your family wood stoves. We have a Jotul and it too is nice, but not old like yours...they are some of the most beautiful stoves I've ever seen. What I like most was how much you appreciated their beauty and the warmth they provided to you and your family. True gratitude is a lovely thing to behold. Thank you for sharing..

I have been a chimney sweep for over thirty years - the old Norwegian heaters are so simple and efficient - and the 602 Jotuls are the best

Those tile stoves were really nice, thx for sharing,, from America

I really enjoyed this vedio. I enjoy seeing how other cultures make the same products but in so many different ways. Beautiful example.

Growing up in New England back in the 70's and 80's when oil could be quite expensive, we had a very nice large wood burning stove that we used as our primary hear source. When the house was cold in the morning it was COLD!!! But 30 minutes after the stove was started the house was cozy. We would set a large pot of water on the stove to humidify the air and as the stove was on the end of the house far from the bedrooms we had a fan circulating the warm air. I loved that.

This video stirrs the soul. Thank you for showing us love these beautiful fireplaces

Yes thumbs up for wood heat...best heat ever!!

Wow, never thought of a tile stove. How amazing!

I love that you appreciate low tech, traditional, historical ways from your traditional Swedish ways. Thank you for sharing it with us Americans here - we have very little appreciation for our history from any one younger than 60.

I love those stoves!! I feel warm just looking at them!

ESPECIALLY THE CERAMIC HEATERS VERY PRACTICAL 😍

hell that's a full-time job cutting all the wood to feed all them damn stoves and fireplaces. I'm glad I live in Florida

Birch is awesome.... I can never get enough here....

This is Dec 2020! Everything you are saying, I experienced in upstate NY before my husbands stroke in '94. I am in NE TN now, have wood heat, there was a stove in here when I bought the house in 2007, I sold that one, got another and finally got a Summer's Heat wood stove. I get free wood from the Wood Ministry here in Greene County, TN. As Paul Gautchi (Back to Eden) said, Wood comes with the elements of the sun in it, it is the best type of heat for all humans! How I would love to have the old cast iron woodstove, the ones you showed are just beautiful. I have been widowed 21 years, Jim and I burned wood for years up home, had three stoves, one in the kitchen, living room and in his garage where he almost lived doing mechanical work.

I just love the tile stoves, with all that mass to keep the heat. In the 70's I was the farthest South and West dealer for Jotul wood stoves, at the time they were the most efficient wood stoves available in the US. I still use the Jotul combi-fire #4 to heat my house on the chilly winter day here in central Florida. I sold many of the little #602's like you have, I wouldn't worry about the crack in the side to must. One thing that was hard to get my customers to do was NOT tighten the bolts holding the parts together, just snug, then build a small first fire so the parts can move a little with the heat and find their place, then clean it, snug the bolts again and put furnace cement into all the joints. I would do the same with your #602 and cement the crack. If you tighten all the bolts on a stove and start a big first fire it will crack somewhere almost every time. Thanks for the beautiful video of your home and stoves.

Thanks for this great video. I especially apppreciated that you showed an old Jotul 602! That was my first woodstove and it heated my entire house in Northern Minnesota even during our 20 to 40 degrees F below zero. I have a newer and bigger house now but still heat with wood as a secondary heat source using a newer and bigger Jotul stove. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all your viewers.

I grew up on a farm, in a wood frame house with a wood stove. ALL my family has some kind of lung issue now. When you went to school YOU were one of few that Smelled like burning wood. The ONLY room that was comfortable was the one with the Wood Stove in it and the constant processing of wood in summer took away from the daily chores of the farm. When my oldest brother came out of the military he bought a home with CENTRAL HEAT. I thought I was in paradise. No smell, all the rooms were the same temp and you didn't need to wear long sleeves, sweaters and socks and shoes ALL winter long. Nope. Grew up with this source of heat,,am NOT going back to it either. I built my home so well insulated that we use very little power to heat it and THAT I LOVE.

I am older and no longer heat with wood... I worship my thermostat.

Raised in California, moved to Washington state at 17 years old. Hated the damp and cold. Never could get warm in the winter. Until I got my first woodstove. I couldn't believe it. I could not live in WA without a woodstove. Lived here over 40 years.

I love those wood stoves! If I had to live in another country permanently it would be Sweden. I was in Langsele for a few months back in the early 80's and fell in love with the country. Great youtube channel!

This is one of the most enjoyable videos I have seen in a long time! Thanks so much!

love the stove tour! years ago in the cold upper N.Y .we had a Jotul stove,which was highly recommended as the most efficient we could buy.It burns wood very hot and very slowly,I will never forget that little beauty.Thank you.!

Gotta luv old skool workmanship. I remember my grandmother had a large wood stove with oven and water compartment. The old cast iron "clothes iron" sat on top also. Upstairs she had a manual foot driven sewing machine. She lived to be 87 but never went any further than about 20 km from her home according to my Mom.

Beautiful wood stoves. I just love the old cast iron designs.

We fell in love with your gorgeous home

What a beautiful farm house. Those floors! All of those woods stoves are just incredible.

You were not kidding, those are some beautiful wood stoves...and some innovative designs as well.

I used wood stoves for years, loved the warm morning brand. Add a chunk or two of red dot coal before bed and you had heat all night.

I want a Kakelugn!!!!It’s beautiful and practical!

Having never seen such antiquity from across the world, I am in awe. From Oregon, thanks for sharing! 🤔😊😁

You have many beautiful stoves in that house!

BEAUTIFUL!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

Those tile stoves are absolutely stunning. Very Beautiful.

That tile oven, (Kakelugn)...is absolutely gorgeous. I am from South Texas, and we don't use wood stoves of any kind. However, my mother is from Oklahoma, and I remember my grandparents home, having an old wood stove, in the middle of the dining room, to keep the old wood frame house warm. As a child, it used to fascinate me to see it back in the early 70's. I believe my grandparents used it up, and into the late 80's. Times sure have changed for many here in America. One would be hard pressed to find folks with a wood stove any more. Most everyone has gone to electric heat. Your parents home however...just seems so cozy...like I remember my grandparents home being. Modern times, I believe...have lost some charm of the older ways. I suppose convenience eventually trumps charm. Oh well. Great video...thoroughly enjoyed. Two thumbs up. 👍☀️👍

I totally agree with you woodstovws and fire places are the best.

The tile stove is impressive I’ve never seen one before

Traditionally in Maine firewood was cut Jan & Feb. There's no sap in the tree so it dries faster in the hot summer months. Thank you for showing us your parents house with the wonderful woodstoves. I've got one of those Jotul's.

Thats the only heat for me! beautiful collection of old stoves! And they are still used.

Growing up usng wood heat I totally agree with you . Of course ours were no were as beautiful as yours are ! I esecially loved the tile firelaes ! They look beautiful the whole year. I also have to say I loved the wood flooring in your parents kitchen. We also grew up with birtch as well as Tamarack or they also call it Buckskin after it has fallen and dried with n bark left on it ! Wood heat is a beautiful thinkg and although I live in arizona we do have a couple of weeks that we start my day with my cofee while enjoying the heat. At night we often roast marshmellows or hotdogs ! What a great tie of year to have that heat !

Very nice ovens.Nice to see that some of the simpler things in life,that add heat to our lives are still appreciated.

Thanks for the tour of your home. The stoves are beautiful pieces of history and functioning parts of our lives. It's also a part of history that most Americans have lost in this country. We turn up a thermostat pay a big electric bill complain about it and we're cold most of the time. I grew up with a wood stove to heat her home, cold mornings hot evenings dusty and dirty but there is no better heat then a wood.

I think that one of the reasons that these wood stoves have a place to heat up things on the top is so you can boil water. Heating your house makes the house extremely dry and boiling water to put it into the air will help that. Idk if that’s really why they have those burners but it is a good idea to humidify your house in the winter.

We had a Jotul and the side cracked we contacted the company and they replaced the broken part. great stove. Wish I had kept it.

What a warm presentation. Love the standing wood burner. It seems practical.

Really nice. I dig these designs. People don't make products with the same artistry today.

I loved the video!! Those were awesome stoves! When I was about 12 years old in the 80's living in our small farm in upstate NY with 120 acres of land, we had a Poppa Bear Fisher wood stove that served as the primary heat source for our 2 story, 3 bedroom farm house. That sucker would fire up like a locomotive train! It totally warmed our house up. I love wood stove heat too. Currently, I live in New Mexico, and it does get cold in the winter, and my home has a wood stove insert in the fireplace. I love it and it adds so much to the home in my opinion. It even has the blower unit. I have access to all kinds of firewood near my cabin in the mountains and the wood stove totally save my family money on central heating. Thank you for your video and your family wood stoves are so unique and pieces of art! They were all so beautiful!

That was pretty interesting, thanks.

Regarding the tile masonry/Russian stoves, my relatives in Sud Tyrol (Dimaro) have the very same style of stoves and they do not have much hardwood. They use softwood as their source of heat.

I love these old stoves. Wood fire is the best heat ever. Thanks for the video.
