I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

We wanted to thank all the Modern Steaders who gave us the Thumbs Up on the video we made some brownies in. We have over 700 thumbs up! Here is the recipe that we Promised if we reached 600 thumbs up ~ bit.ly/2EMY3kg
Love the great videos. Is that black mould on the basement concrete walls?
Nope Lol
I'm not a.homesteader but is my dream
Nice set-up...good job on thinking things thru.
Tyvm 👍
I learned something new today. Cold air drops were unheard of to me but now make a lot of sense.
My grandparents had a house heated by a coal stove that was built in the 1850s. I remember standing on those grates as a child to warm up - the direct heat coming through the grates was one of the best sensations on a cold morning.
I like the idea of the glass in the stove door so you can watch the fire. That makes a huge difference.
I also use wood to heat my 2,800sqft home with a full basement and main floor 1400sqft per level. Our wood stove is actually a forced air indoor wood furnace by Sears and Roebuck. So it does use a bit of electricity to make the stove more efficient. Decent trade off I suppose.
Anyway, I live in the foothills of the ozarks in southern Missouri.
Old timers told me that 10 acres or more of forest on your land can supply enough dead fall to heat a farm house without ever cutting a live tree from the land.
Considered that heavily when purchasing our farm. We bought 33 acres, 12a in forest 1.5a in ponds and the remaining mostly resembles large oak/ hardwood savanna.
Soooooooo glad to be out of the Suburban neighborhood FINALLY!!lol. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge
Very nice explanation of your heating! That is a charming furnace.
I love watching this channel, you think things through so well
Al congratulations on making the top 10 videos u deserve it
Thanks Al ! A very well thought out system with a great explanation of how it works.
One can always surmise the amount of research that you put into each of your projects... Well thought out and designed system. Not needed here in Central Texas, but valuable information nonetheless!
If you plumbed a ball valve and entrance pipe into the opening for the air entrance of the fire box and drew in combustion air from the outside, you'll reduce convection of fresh air entering the building envelope. It can make a substantial difference.
Yes, and what also happens is that the heat builds up inside the house pushing the pressure against the windows preventing drafts of cold air that generally come from windows. I wish I had a diagram to explain for visual learning. With out air from the outside coming directly into the back of the stove directly to the inside of the stove, the stove draws its air from inside the house. This air that is drawn generally comes from Leaks in the envelope of the house. These leaks can be from poor window seals. This means the draft is caused by the sucking of air outside the windows to inside the house. BUT if you only draw air directly into the stove from the back, there is no cold air being sucked inside through the windows. What actually happens is that the heat from the stove pushes up against the windows and Prevents the draft of cold air being sucked into the house. Awesome science stuff! 🙏🇨🇦
Yes! We were curious to find out more regarding your wood stove and how you heated your home with it... Thank you! Nicely done and well thought out. Thanks for sharing!!
I'm a master mason and I have to say that I enjoyed your video very much. It was nice to see someone take the time to understand the art of a good fireplace. :)
My favorite channel to start the day!
Brilliant and awesome! Your family is greatly blessed. Happy New Year! Blessings to all!
Great info! Really like the idea of the cold air dumps/returns. Keep up the good work!
A lot of good planning went into heating your home. It reminds me of the 110 year-old home we lived in with a gas furnace and gravity heat. No fan necessary to move the heat through two floors. I loved how quiet it was.
Greetings from Wisconsin! First time watching your channel...I enjoyed watching 3 videos so far...Cannot wait to see how you started out homesteading...and more of your journey. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent explanation on how your system works. Great job and thanks for taking the time to do this video.
Best wishes to you and your family
This is brilliant. I've seen parts of this but not all of it or together before. Love it!
Thanks for the excellent explanation of your wood stove! Wish I would have had a stove like that when we lived in the north country! We live in the worm south now! Love watching your channel! God bless your family!
I love the forethought that you've put into your heating system. The solution is fairly simple, but it's the sort of simplicity that only comes from good research, problem solving and application to create an efficient and practical solution. I also liked how the explanation of your system was highlighted with the cuteness of Figaro and Olivia! :)
Out of interest, do you still plan to install the hot water loop in the wood stove for a cheaper and/or alternative hot water source at some stage? I forgot to ask that on here yesterday... :)
have you thought of limited solar for electric as a backup in case the grid goes down , the excess energy you could also sell back to the grid.
Insulate and drywall the ceiling above the wood stove. Safer and keeps the bedrooms cooler! Nice job
Such clear explanations of how this all works.
I love how you planned your home!
You have a great system and thanks for the recipe. Have a blessed day.
Thanks for sharing all that information on your wood stove. It sure looks good and you say it’s quite efficient. Great!
Thank you for the very informative description of your heating system.
Al, interesting video. Texas is cold today and we finally turned my heat last evening. Your stove sound very efficient. God bless America...
Great setup and awesome video. Sins my house is from the 1800 I had no control of where the woodstoves sits so I got 2 of them to heat the house but that works great to. The only thing is that all the mess ends up in our living area. Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden
Nice to see someone who really put some thought into the house design to heat completely with a wood stove.
Wood heat is so comforting and it seems to warm the soul too.
Great video! I love the forethought about how you built the house. I never thought about the cold air returns!
Alot of solid info here. Well done sir
I admire your commitment,
persuacion and courage. Best luck.
The heating system is well thought out. I also like how you can clean the stove pipe from the outside. Great idea.
hi good morning beautiful family thanks for sharing its good to sit having breakfast and watching your great videos, such a great start to a beautiful day good morning Gina and Olivia have a wonderful day today, till tomorrow same place same time God bless beautiful family bye Olivia 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕.
8.15 just like when you make a snow cave you have to make a cold air drop, brilliant.... should do this as a job heating advisor because you're advice is brilliant. ...
Thank you for explained how cold air drops and how to control that. I did not know this and very helpful.
Congrats for making the top 10 videos award for 2017 you should have been #1
Congrats on top 10 homestead video. I enjoy your channel.
A cat lying like that is proof that it is warm enough for mere humans.
Thanks for the video very informative! You did your research, nice job!!
thank you for sharing...really like the swinging half doors...
awesome i'm glad i found this episode! been curious about the stove itself and how
it heats everything. it's a very handsome wood stove as well.
Tons of great info, thank you so much for making this.
good day to you Al !! thanks for sharing you great advice and information a how you Designed your House to be Heated with Wood & Natural Convection and showing how it's done
That is an awesome design . Thank you for telling us what you wouñd hav done different. We all learn from our and others mistakes
Thank you for the explaination of hot and cool vents. I've never seen this done and love the simplicity! You could always put a few fans in there if you wanted to. Very neat.
Few do it, but a wood stove can be used to power all the fans you might want or need to move air around the structure.
Awesome system!
This was very interesting, thanks! I always see wood cookstoves in people's kitchens, never thought about the mess.
Excellent info. Your presentation skills are ace.
LOTS OF GREAT INSIGHTS!!!
Excellent presentation.
Nice job of explaining the heating system in your beautiful home! You should have recommended your video on how you store your firewood for drying and easy access in winter, that video is an excellent one also. God Bless
Dennis St.Germaine I was wondering the very same thing.
Thanks for for sharing this lesson, we will put it to good-use.
Very well thought out build ! Smart man.
Very informative. Thanks. Love your house!
Thanks for showing us that.
Thnaks Al. Very well done.
Excellent information.......thank you for this video, We found it really helpful
Terrific. Dad built a mountain house years ago and I've tried to figure a way to to heat it when I retire. He had electric baseboard. You've given me great advice on how to do it. The down draft set up explains how to get the cool air into the basement. Putting in grates will be easy. Thanks.
Cooler air sinks down to the lower spaces because of its density. Warmer air floats/ gets pushed up on colder air. The colder air does all the pushing. Tear a narrow stip of fine tissue or toilet-type paper, hold one end and walk up the stairs to see all this
Excellent video! We have a tuxedo cat too! Anytime your chickens or pigs are on, she comes and sits in front of the tv to watch. Its very cute. The wood stove you have sure is a good looking one. I'm warming up to the idea (no pun intended!) of putting in a wood stove myself, even tho we are on-grid and have conventional everything. Thanks for taking the time to talk about this!
I'm a city person but with this Corona busy I'm looking to buy in the country and hired you to put in my stove and set it up to stay warm through out the house,,,just in case .. Electricity go out and I'm definitely getting one of those are high .. . Efficient... generators as well.....love .. Your presentation thank you...stay warm
Love It Nice Set Up
Hi Al, just wanted to commend you on a wonderful video. This was very well done and gave me a lot to think about with our home - Centre stair well..ect. Really well thought out when you built your home. That’s all - have a blessed Christmas - I am addicted to the Lumnah’s each morning 😀👍
I love how you've explained everything and the reason behind what and why things are built i can see myself doing the same thing if I where to build a house( or have it be built) I wonder about how much was it to build your house like that
Nice set up Al.
Congratulations on your top ten!
Excellent video love your wisdom
Great stove!
Hang some 5/8ths type-X drywall over the stove, under the over-warmed bed rooms this will displace some of that unwanted heat to the other joist bays and up the stairs.
I forgot to say 'Congratulations' for being selected to the 'Top Ten' in White House on the Hill 2017 top Homesteading channels!!!!
Quite clever !
pretty badass design 👍👍
Congrats making top ten videos! 👍
very thorough/ very interesting.
Thanks Al. Great tips and thank you for sharing this method of heating with us. :)
Hi........ AL. Thank you for your explanation of wood stove I never seen like this before . This is my first time of wood stove I have seen from you AL, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👨👩👧👸👕👓🐩🐔🐓🐥🐕🐖🐈🌱🐐🏡🎥👍👍👍
Love this video -- thanks for sharing. Great planning on your wood stove .
Great Video...interesting solutions for cold air return.
Excellent video, very well thought out. I to heat with wood in northern BC Canada. Thank you.
Thank you!
So much more than I knew!
Great considerations!!!
Great setup.
great set up and please keep the great videos coming
That's a good quality setup you got there
Thanks for sharing. Your Michigan brother appreciates the knowledge share!
Wonderful video...thank you for this information...very thoughtful home design...as for your dutch oven, you can shovel coals out of the stove and use them outside for cooking with your dutch oven in a worst case scenario.
learn so much from you Al....Keep up the vids and counting of the eggs....
Thank you
Real nice house. That wood looks sweet.
Thanks again great video
Love the custom spacers sweet match..
Laneka love Donovan
Back when I lived in the Sierras we used a much smaller convection stove to heat 1200 sq ft and it would COOK YOU OUT! Very effective means of heating!
My husband and I are planning our homestead. We have gleaned so much useful information, from your site. I cannot thank you enough, for being so thorough. We are looking forward to getting past the planning stage, into the actual building. Maybe one day, you will follow our journey and come visit us. Sending lots of love and prayers. The Brooks Family
Thank you! What state do you plan on homesteading in?
We live in central Georgia, and would like to remain somewhere in this area. We are doing as much research as we can. We are gleaning from you, Off Grid With Doug and Stacy, Justin Rhodes, Fouch- O- Matic, Dirt Patch Heaven, Willow Creek Homestead, My Little Homestead, to name just a few. We are researching rainwater reclamation and alternate building sources. Since Georgia has red clay soil, we are leaning toward earthbag or cob as our building medium. We are also looking at harvesting and milling our own wood, for building purposes. You have been a huge inspiration, for us. My husband has gotten an old water heater to make a cold smoker, using your design. I love New Yolk City, and we are going to be updating Egglanta, soon. Thanks for all of your hard work and inspiration!!!!
Wood heat. The natural and renewable resource. Nice heating system. We have a large masonry Rumford fireplace in our home which has a large enough opening to allow for a Jotul wood stove. We have a forced air central heating system, but there is nothing quite like the cozy feel of radiant heat coming from a cast iron wood stove on a cold winter day. Best wishes for a happy 2018.
that is some heating set up you have you really did your homework guy !! looks like a great place !
When I lived off grid I cooked on a bonfire. The way I baked was with two stainless steel bowls and two bricks. I put the two bricks in the bottom of one bowl and used the other bowl as a lid. I used aluminum foil to keep the bowls "sealed." This was big enough for an 8x8 pan or a bread pan, which is what I was using it for the most. I'm sure you could design something similar and more functional to use on the top of your stove so that you don't have to bake inside the fire box. Plus, you could always bake in your outdoor kitchen in the cook stove ;)
