Nice work! You MAY want/need/like going to a slightly larger mantle or smaller gas tip in your generator. Kerosene is denser in energy and can over-drive/overburn the mantles. I don't mean to insult your intelligence or experience here, but overburn is when you see a halo of flame outside the mantle. You can also just not pump it up as much, but that's a pain in the ass. Also play with air inlets by partially blocking/unblocking them until you find the "sweet spot" where they burn cleanest and brightest. These were engineered to run on fuels with specific energy content for the optimum fuel/air ratio and the mantles to burn it for maximum brightness. It's not a huge difference though and should run fine. You may not get as many hours of operation out of the generator before it needs cleaning, but that's pretty easy with a propane torch to burn off the crap that builds up in all GPAs. Hope this will be of some help to you. Have a super weekend.

Thank you VERY MUCH for this. You are wonderful! I have three front teeth needing the same work you had done - because of an accident like you. This was the best, honest detailed video - took courage and you deserve all the praise in the World. We are blessed to have you around! So thanks again.

Hi your video saved me alot of frustration on inserting for the first time, my dentist did not show me at all yesterday on how to remove or insert, they said because it was acting like a bandaid?!?! So they sent me on my way and said do your best.Last night i managed to get it out, do you recommend any way to easily dislodge it? Im afraid i may break it, i watched how you inserted the flipper and i was immediately sucessful!!!!!! Can you tell me your method of removal? I will only take as your option and anything that happens to my flipper is my sole responsibility not yours, Thank you, David

I searched high and low and you helped me tremendously pretty lady

This helped me so much today. Thank you

I am going to need a flipper my front tooth is extremely loose and falls out easily

NICE!!! m

It's surprising how little info is out there for using RV fridges off grid. Thank you

I'm going to go through this my dear I just hope that they do it and not try to tempt me into getting it fixed because this is the third attempt I'm not doing it so out it will come 😭 and right now like the pain is getting worse what I mean by that is well you know you probably experienced it and just because of the roots in my tooth is still alive it is going to hurt and I am in pain so like the pain is going to be every three increase every three times so it was 3:00 now its 6:00 I know it's 8:50 p.m. and it still hurts so I know what you're going through I'm going to go through what you're going through yes and I talked with the list too

You are amazing for this video! Gave me hope and comfort. Most importantly you gave great advice and support for people in this situation…Thanks again!

I have a partial for my front tooth but it's not working out. This is week 2 and it still dont fit and pops out when I eat.ive had 2 adjustments and still it's not working. I got back next week. It's no fun that's for sure

What's wrong?With you just get to the point

crazy idea instead of paying dumbass Insurance put that money aside into another bank account every month so we don’t have to go through all the hassle to find a place that will cover costs. it’s the stupidest shit

There must be especially designed cord for this ?

This video was very informative I'm having dental work done and I have to get a flipper thank you so much.

How many square feet can your atove heat?

what material is your flipper made of? acrylic, valplast? do you still have it in 2024?

That's my home made rerod poker

You are not alone sister! My dentist just took impressions for the flipper today 😵‍💫

that type of flipper is just a temporary thing meant to be used for a few weeks or months …depending on fast you heal….or till the guns heals completely ….and as time goes by it will become less manageable do to the changes in your own gums……it will feel very loose…at that point you will need a flipper that will not absorb any fluids or trap any mouth bacteria in the moth…and the new flipper should be the of Valplast type of flipper and material…which is a nylon based product and does not absorb any fluids and it’s 100% more esthetic and has 100% better retention and functionality……but the trick is…….it all depends on how much clinical experience the technician who. makes it has….and it can be the very best flipper that you can get and it’s also a material that never breaks in the moth expect maybe a tooth from the flipper but it’s also very rare…..on the other hand if the valplast flipper is done by someone with out any long term experience e making this type of prosthesis then you might have to go multiple times for adjustments specially if they are not properly done from the start….including the type of impression used to make it…..and all flippers are not made the same way and the one you are wearing is not meant to be a functional or confiable appliance it was just made as a “cosmetic-appliance” to get you by for the moment.when you were a young girl and nothings else…it has already outlived its purpose……and not all the doctors work the same way either…..but you will have to do some research of your own ….to make sure you don’t end up with a similar type all over again…….

What size are the largest logs you put in your stove?

I will be having my front tooth removed and I've been crying for weeks but this makes me feel a little better. I still currently have all 32 of my teeth but my big front tooth is dead and yes, i have bone loss. So will likely do the same as you can get it a single plate denture. The only question I have for you is, did you not get a bone graft first?

Thank you so much ☺️

Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable.

Excellent and thorough video. Thanks 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Your the MAN. You look like ZZTop, Duck Commander and a little bit of the Red Baron.

Interesting idea with the copper plates. If the stove wasn’t working well with the top baffle maybe there was something else going on. How tall is your chimney? Maybe not enough draft?

We’ve been off grid for four years now. Lived in a camper the first 8 months while working on our log cabin. Lots of hard work but well worth it.

IMO a pipe thermometer is a must if you want to burn at max efficiency and not waste heat up the flue.

I have the Jotul F45 and Jotul 602. I run them the same way you do but I prefer to leave a good layer of ash in the stove. It helps insulate the coals in the back of the stove and gives a longer burn.

I recently purchased a 1976 Jotul 118 at an estate sale. It was only used five or six winters and is in great shape. The online manual describes what you explain here (start fires at the front) but your video was much better. Thanks very much for sharing this. If you have tips for cooking on top of this particular stove, I'd love to hear them. Our stove still has the original heat shields inside. Not modified as yours is.

I have one of those called a Nordic three dampers on door workes great

How long can you keep a fire going without having to reload it? How big is your cabin, and it doesn’t look insulated- am I correct?

That’s amazing!

I greatky appreciate you, i have to get my #9 front top tooth pulled bc its super loose from something that happened 10 years ago. And im getting a flipper till i can afford 4k implants lol. I truly appreciate you

I just got a 118 of Craig’s and am figuring this stove out also. Seems you could what works for you. The cook top arches and isn’t flat on mine. Did you ever get a 1/8 arc in it from the heat with no top baffle? Alex

🔥nice little stove

Did you ever see a Maytag racer?

Excellent video!

Can I just say, it makes me incredibly happy to see everyone's hair put up in a bun while working in the kitchen/cooking food. ❤❤❤❤❤ I haven't used an oven in about three years. We cook outside on gas, we heat with our woodstove inside. We are building our tiny house, my big nice oven is sitting in the tiny house waiting for us to install it. We are at the wiring stage of things. I can't wait to cook in an oven again. I will never take it for granted. ❤ However I am happy to be learning how to do without one. This is our third winter with our woodstove too. I will never go back to the city. I love my $30 a month electric bill in the dead of winter.

Really happy you guys managed to get back on your path. Looking forward to seeing where the journey takes you.

Its so good to see a loved Jotul 118. Up here in Canada there were multiple Taiwanese copies marketed from 1978 on. We had one of those that heated our entire house for twenty years. It was a joy to light with our tall, straight chimney and DRY wood. Simply load it with wood up to 24" long! shread some newspaper, close the door and it would sound like a jet engine roaring. The cast iron inner shields eventually warped and the sides developed some cracks from these "Italian tuneups" but it lasted 20 years. We replaced it twenty years ago with a real Jotul non-box, I had to learn how to build a fire after being spoilt.

very useful video for millions. you are amazing human who is willing to go the extra mile to help others by sharing useful information even though its very private. very much appreciated and lots of love to you.

Wood stoves are illegal in Scotland just about everything illegal in Scotland

Good info. Your theories are very sound. No one explains this stuff. This is exactly how I run mine

We've used a Taiwanese cast iron copy of a Jotul wood stove since about 1981, bought at KMart for $125. It looks almost identical to yours, except it has a different cast peasant design on the sides and corrugated upper chamber sides instead of smooth. It's heated our houses in CO and NM for over 40 years and is still going strong. You're right, you have to get to know your own stove and learn how best to use it. The wood you burn is also an important factor. Here in NM at 7,000' elevation, we like dry juniper and oak. I start my fires with two larger pieces of juniper, side by side on the bottom with a Strike-A-Fire between them and then smaller wood, kindling and bigger on top. The stove door is swung open about 3 inches for accelerated air draft. After 20 minutes, the stove is getting real hot. After a while I add a more big wood and reduce the round air supply slider from wide open to fully closed as the fire gets hot enough. Once a nice big red coal bed is established and the room temp is OK, this stove will keep the place warm, sometimes even through the night.

Well, I hate my top load LG washer. No good agitator and it takes at least an hour for a cycle.

Thank you❤
