I got the wood stove installed in the new addition to our cabin in northern Minnesota. #diy #outdoors #homestead

Finally someone who addressed the wall concerns! Thank you

Just a suggestion for your chimney. Use insulated flue pipe for the entire run. You want the flue to stay hot inside to improve draft and prevent cresote. That single wall cools quickly causing the smoke to cool and form cresote on the surface. I noticed you did put the pipes together the proper way so the cresote doesn't end up running down the outside of the pipe. Looks great!

I enjoy watching Kyle work when I take a rest break from my own work 😆
Cierra so lovely in her pregnant Momma onesie❤️

Wow the woodstove looks really nice! Skeeter is going to love laying by the fire! Cierra looks beautiful with her baby bump!! My daughter has a beautiful baby bump too! Being a mother is one of the greatest gifts in life ♥️🥰♥️

So good effort on the high temp. Silicone. However, the product is not the same as Fire Barrier Caulk with a rating of 2000 degrees F. In addition, Fire barrier caulk has an elastomer that expands when exposed to heat or flames. Trapping the smoke and prevent the fire from reaching an oxygen source. Pricing for the correct product is within a few dollars of each. FD150 3M™ Fire Barrier Sealant FD 150+ is a gun-grade, latex-based, elastomeric sealant that cures upon exposure to the atmosphere to form a monolithic flexible firestop seal

The new stove looks great! It will certainly come in handy when winter arrives not to mention when the baby comes! This is going to be an exciting time for both of you. I can"t wait!!!

So much learned from watching your channel. You are great at explaining everything in a way that even people like me get it. Thank you for sharing and making things simple.

Kyle, your work ethic is commendable, you’re an all around good dude and I have no doubt you will be an amazing father! Thank you for sharing these pieces of your life with us.

I bought the smaller version of this stove a few years ago for my 170 square foot hunting cabin. It is solid, works great and I can’t run it too high as it gets too hot in the cabin. Would recommend it to anyone wanting a good quality stove!

Hey Kyle, I had an idea for you when you were finishing up your chimney on the roof. Consider placing an upside down V shaped barrier above chimney pipe to thwart rain run-off from hitting chimney pipe. Consider placing a flat top over the V barrier to prevent snow accumulation inside V barrier. I hope this makes sense. All the best! Willard

Awesome, Kyle, as usual! Getting ready for the precious addition!❤

I really like that wood stove. Really nice looking. Beautiful job Kyle…👍

Personal preference. When I do heat sheilding. No matter what it is. I leave roughly a one inch gap to the wall also. And I leave the same kind of gap at both the bottpm and top of my sheilding. It promotes air flow behind the sheilding through convective air flow. Helping to keep the wall cooler. And helping circulate some of the heat in the room.

I think your ready for winter. I put some of the cement board tape on some of the seams today. I might need to glue that down. Not sure. Stay warm.

I just scored a brand new, in crate from 1999 Jotul #404 wood cook stove with oven!!! It's enameled cast iron and beautiful !!! Found it locally for $100.00

I enjoy watching your videos, Kyle you’re not afraid of trying anything and you’re just making it on your own. It’s awesome. The cabin looks amazing.

[sandramiller]

You have a loyal dog. You must be a very good owner.
