Stack as much cast iron cookware on top of the stove as possible too. Cast iron is even more dense than stone, concrete and tile, so you can store even more heat, plus it's multipurpose as cookware. You can also store water in buckets close enough to the stove to store heat too, you can control the humidity in your home too by having lids on or off the buckets. Great real life practical tips!
So good you had to give it to us twice.....
hahah yep what can i say???
I love how you explain everything so clearly. Having a concrete floor that absorbs heat, how awesome is that! I know some people that spent a whole lot of money on heated flooring for bathrooms. Starry, you are very kind for explaining reasons for the rock in your home, frankly, I never even noticed, hahaha. I just enjoy watching your videos, enjoy your company. Have a pleasant day, God bless. 😊 👍 👌 ❤
Watching it twice makes me remember it more. Thanks for helping us old folks.
And some people thought they'd never need Science Class..... The heat from the stove isn't actually free, but is an efficient use of the heat that is normally wasted- so, more like more bang for the buck. The passive solar is definitely free heat! Really good use of multiple systems to minimize costs. Glad to see your healing well. God bless
Heat sink. A large pot of water does the same and adds moisture when the air is dry.
hi Starry,
the stones on the stove are a double edged sword, they absorb some heat but deflect far more up the flue than they can absorb. in essence they are a heat sync that don't give back as much thermal energy as they absorb.
rock absorbs far more heat than it ever gives back as radiant warmth, just look at the refractory bricks in the bottom of your stove. the bottom of it should almost be cool to the touch with a fire raging in the fire box. this is due the heat absorption capability of the fire bricks.
one secret to making your fire last thru the nite that you may be privy to, is using rounds instead of split wood for the last load of the nite. this will also keep the house from getting too hot during the nite. and for god sakes don't use doug fir for the last filling.. it'll run you out of the house just before midnite...lol.. lodge pole rounds is the best for that. even with a leaky stove..
one thing i did notice is the absence of a damper in your stove pipe.. there should be one about 2 to 3 feet above the stove. it essentially dams the heat in the stove and allows more radiant heat to go into the house instead of up the flue. it also cuts down on your wood consumption A LOT!! regulating air flow and heat by draft alone is not a good way to go and can build up lots of creosote in the stove pipe. you're gonna get that no matter what, but there are funky little home remedies to keep the creosote problem in check: throw a hand full of rock salt (the stuff used on the sidewalk) in the bed of coals every other day, or an aluminium can every other day.. sure it's a pain to fish out the remnants of the cans with the ashes but it sure beats having to run a brush up & down in the stove pipe or chimney. throwing some white fir during the day helps as well although it burns away rather quickly.. this is why you see some of the old timers picking up the occasional stick of white fir while out wood cutting
one essential skill any back country dweller should have are some basic fabrication and welding skills. it's not hard to scrounge up the materials to build a heat exchanger for the stove pipe. and for those long winter nites building a small sterling engine to power a fan to move air thru the heat exchanger can be a challenging and fun project.
Nothing like thermal mass. This is why I'm in love with rocket mass stoves and plan on building one for the cord wood cabin I'm building here. I unfortunately can't pile on all the rock on my stove in this little cabin, because this wood stove is my cook stove as well. But I do love this Bakers choice and it does have some space in the back for some bricks and rocks under the warming oven. Nothing like passive solar though. Bang on Starry.
Funny story about passive solar. When I started the reefer conversion, I had no windows or doors. Just a lot of insulated space. It was some cold in here. As soon as I got no more than 2 small windows on the south side, I had some heat. I put some mass in front of those windows, to do just as you explained, even in summer. being in a well insulated reefer, come night fall it would get cool and it would stay that way all day before the windows. Passive solar is the best.
Very cool. Love people that don't bow to the naysayers and try something unconventional.
we are also looking to build cordwood constructed house on one side and earth bermed on three sides
Right on. This was my plan as well as my neighbor has a lot of tires for me to use for the berm walls and then I can just do my display wall with the cord wood. and have my A frame roof for we have very heavy snow loads here. Love berm walls for that thermal mass. Good one.
I enjoy all your viedos and you are an inspiration to me. I am so glad you are getting better. God is good!!
The problem with putting rocks on your stove is you can't use it to cook on. I have a wood cook stove, but I cook on my every day in the winter. It is in the kitchen so the kitchen is always warmer than the rest but it does heat the rest of the house. I enjoy all your videos and am thankful you are doing better. Jean Harper
Starry, your looking great and show us what fortitude is! I have about 10 years of wood heating experience and LOVE this video and will use it. Thank you so much, with gratitude.
you are so very very welcomed..if we can help one person further that fire wood pile..AMEN!!
I love it when teach runs through it again.
Very smart. I love yours and Mr Hilder 's Homestead advice. It's very much working as efficient as possible. Thank you for sharing practical tips. God bless. :)
nice work!...watching from New Zealand....mister Hilder is a bloody legend!!!.....,keep em coming starry,
Thank you for answering that question about the stuff on your stove. I am sure I learned some of that in school but I can't remember. Thanks for the Back To The Basics the importance of "WOOD". Series ! 😊😊
Isnt she lovely and chuckles a lot,love her from Athens greece
concrete floors are great for extending heat in the winter, but its even better in the summer....get up in the morning, mop the floor and the concrete will keep the house much cooler. and if it starts warming up, you can mop it again...cools down again.
Getting two water tanks and attaching them on the sides of the stove is a neat trick. Think i saw that on some wood burning AGA's, even saw someone attaching a electrical pump to it and running water lines both in the floors and to radiators in their house!
Thank God you seem to have recovered so well!
That's great info Starry and you look wonderful
Hi Starry u are amazing,glad u are recovering,hi to the amazing Mr Hilder I love to watch your videos
Great tips there Starry.
What about adding a stove fan too that draws air around the stove while then directing it out as heated air back into the room?
You know, i didn't believe in the idea as much added value until I started to use one myself. A circulating stove fan or better yet a built in the stove is an excellent efficient way to transfer heat while also keeping the stove operating cooler. This also has benefits in preventing things like stove metal warp, brick crack, etc etc etc.
We choose too a "Hunter" brand 52inch ceiling fan ( they offer an excellent ball bearing whisper quiet design ) to keep air circulating which helps out dramatically IMHO when running it at low speed to medium speed.
I also keep a pot of water on top for use in hot tea, hot chocolate etc plus it adds a little steam moisture to the home.
The Home with an Open Floor Plan is also a HUGE plus for obvious reasons along these line and many do not think about it when building or buying their dwelling :)
Good mention...we have a button fan..takes nothing to run it..Mr Hilder has it rigged between the shop and home area and it draws and circulates all that warm air into the shop for him..works wonders!!!..Off grid i would shy away from circulating fans UNLESS you have the power capacity to run them..most arrays and banks dont...are you off grid?..Thats the issue..for those of us who are the button fan is a l ife saver. On grid YES a circulating fan an di think we had a hunter fan back in wisconsin and WE loved it!!!
Smart planning goes along ways..sounds ike you got it down pat!!@!!
Starry try one of these fans.

Thanks for asking and no I am not "Off Grid" so, I understand and respect that you are "Off Grid" with it all. I am ready and prepared as I can be though for any down scene that may come from storms to whatever, which is why I appreciate your channel and chime in every once in a while. BTW, U R healing well and may God continue to Bless both of you guys :)
Really cool, Sister! Thank you for sharing.
Good ideas. Glad you want to burn less firewood since it contributes so much to air pollution.
slower less efficient "rocket" mass heater. Window coverings are important for the passive solar. Covered at night or when sun is not direct.
your lip is looking great ! Also to help with the skin healing rub some of your coconut oil on it daily. Maybe multiple times a day.
That is part of the problem with "normal" stick framed houses. No thermal Mass. On the other hand, build your home with real logs and forget all the rocks. Thermal Mass is why real log homes are always so cozy in the winter.
That sounds good, and log homes may feel cozy, but wood has very little thermal mass to it compared to stone/brick/concrete/water. Thermal mass relies on density and most log homes are built with softwood, which is quite porous. Log thermal mass does work to an extent when you have warm sunny days and cool nights- spring and fall. But in winter, there is little if any thermal mass gain. You heat the logs from the inside and they are cooled on the outside.
There is no evidence of log homes operating as thermal mass in the typical sense, other than the claims of log home builders.
Spoken by someone living in a stick frame house. By the way, I'm not a builder for hire. I am an individual that is building our own real log home that does everything you claim they don't. Of course you are correct about log kit homes. But they are not log homes. Once you cut the round logs into lumber, no matter what you call them, they are not log homes. On the other hand, please don't try to convince me that my 24-30" diameter debarked and solid Pacific Red Cedar logs don't have or retain thermal mass. I know it isn't always a good thing to bring up science, but did you know there are books on the subject of Thermal Mass of Log Homes for Building Departments to refer to?
You obviously have me confused with a different Julie! My house is stone with some log areas. I have lived in a log house that was red cedar, the smell was so amazing, I envy you that.
I guess my first comment was a bit too general, but very few log homes are built as you are doing, there aren't that many large logs left anymore.
Certainly you have more thermal mass than the average log home, but what you really have a lot more of is R value. Cedar is the most porous of softwoods, and all those tiny air pockets are giving you an overall rating probably close to R-35, depending on profile factor and assuming you have well sealed gaps. THAT is what makes your house warmer, not thermal mass.
I'm a big fan of science. So far all the studies I've seen don't equate logs as having much thermal mass, especially softwood. I'm also aware that the Log Home Industry has lobbied hard to get the zoning regulations to accept log structures.
All materials have some degree of thermal mass. The US Dept of Energy, who has no skin in the game, rates the thermal mass 'value' of a log at 1/10th of an R. Hardly worth mentioning. The real issue, though, is that to work in your favor, thermal mass needs to be inside an insulated space. No matter if your logs had more thermal mass than concrete, unless that heat can be kept inside in the cold weather, it does no good.
Your log house and my stone house both absorb heat and radiate it. If they absorb heat from outside and radiate it in, that's good. I don't know where you live. I live in Alaska. As mentioned in my original post, the concept sort of works in spring and fall. But all winter, my stone house (and any local log houses) absorbs heat from INside and eventually radiates it to the outside of the walls, since they are not insulated on the outside, just as yours won't be. That's the science of thermal dynamics. If you can show me different I'm always open to learning.
The stones & bricks together acts like a large storage radiator 😀
The cinder block walls on concrete basement floor surrounding my wood stove worked as thermal mass...radiated heat all day, and night, long. Great residual heat. Best
Morning Starry! I love the concrete floor. Hope you have a great day!
Hope U get to filling better. Thanks for the info!!! Have a good afternoon!!!
Great tip! I also bet the concrete floor feels great on a cold winter day, once warmed up.
awesome in the winter..warm..toasty..COOL in the summer..like air conditioning for free
Starry, what do you think about the Rocket Mass Heater concept? Also, are your windows double paned to balance the heat movement? Concrete sounds like a terrific idea but I can't seem to tolerate that type of flooring because it kills my hips. I hope you don't have to worry about that. Like the idea of getting all the free stuff at your recycling center. Lots of good finds! Thanks for sharing Starry. 💞💞💞
Rocks have been known to explode as well, even setting peoples homes on fire.
awesome. I have the same stove. I am going today do this . much love .
Thermal mass on or near a wood stove absorbs and radiates heat. Although it's good for evening out temperature swings, it's not "free" because it takes energy to heat all that mass.
Good morning Starry!
Great information...both times.
Yeah I said free heat, Starry u are my learning channel.
haha i love free...
Awesome video thank you for sharing. God bless
ok 'Starry I have like a bazillion questions for you, We also live on a slap of concrete with a wood stove for heat but it is a small one not a cook stove just a heat stove, Will it work the same for us? because I have 2 Asian rugs down on the floor in the living area to help keep the house warm for our feet. Should I remove the rugs to radiate heat? We have huge windows with a door wall on the front of the house. The house faces east,.We live in a berm home, but with windows around the back of the home, So it is not a full berm home.The ground comes up to windows in the back and the sides are covered with earth.Thanks so much for your wonderful channel. I love watching you and Mr, Hilder. Your lip looks GREAT. I can't believe what a great job he did on the lip this last surgery that you had. The next question is on your dreads. can you make a video about them? when you decided to put them in. how you care for them, how long have they been in. questions like that! Thank you so much for all you do Sincerely Pam
Oh thanks for the idea of stones on the woodstove to keep the heat - we get our heating from the woodstove but I think that it drains away far to quickly (it's always freezing in here) and since we only use halv of the stovetop to cook on I have to try the sonemethod on the other - nice one, thank you again :D Tereze
awesome news. I was going to ask you if you had ideas for rose quartz rocks. I have a lot on my property and I want to use it to make a garden wall and when we make the cabin, tossed the idea of a chimney of it. can't wait to show hubs this
Starry do have to cover the window at night I noticed that cold come from uncovered windows. and do you have or have you thought of having one of those wind turbine to generate electricity?
Is the finish on your concrete an acid stain or how do you get the color?
Hi Starry! You are such a joyous person :) I just want to give you a hug but then you get into the legal stuff, etc :) If you don't mind me asking, what kind of accident did you have? you are looking fine nowadays and have a great attitude so God is Good. Best wishes for you and your family. Thanks for all the helpful tips, my no soak beans turned out great! God Bless and see you on the other side
haha your funny! I had a bike accident...God is good and im glad you did the no soak beans..arent they great!!!
thank you!!!
Good morning starry. your lip is coming along very nicely. Do you cook on that stove or your propane.? I just purchased an Intrepid II which has a catalytic converter. I always make sure I gave a good draft going up and out before adding wood, as much as possible. I have one on those thermal fans on top to blow out heat and a cast iron kettle on top. It releases steam (moisture into the air) and it itself heats up for thermal mass heat. Stove is small. it was intended to back up my gas heat. We have enjoyed it so much I use so much, its like a game with the fuel company. The more of the stove I use the less gas I use. it's become a game now. How much $$ can I save on gas this year. My goal, 50%
Starry Honey, you do look much much better Thank GOD! The scare you gave me if you only knew, I went to Patara's page in tears and asked her to please make sure you were ok! I do not know how to send a private message to you. :-( PS. I really would love to know if Mr. Hilder thinks it's a good idea to put a flat stone inside the oven to cook on. Love ........Annie
well there is no denying the thermal mass around the woodstove concept...i wonder when i see the mass against the stove or on top if the mass doesnt keep some of the heat inside the stove and make it just go up the chimney....just seems better to me to give the heat some room to radiate from the stove then into the mass
of course this would not apply to those rocket stove thermal mass units as all the heat is absorbed by the mass before the exhaust goes out the chimney usually just being steam vapour with very very little heat
Thanks for the good information. What about sky lights? Would that help or do they allow heat to escape and defeat the purpose?
good tips.... the video repeats itself twice around 4:14, just thought you should know.
Great tips Starry! Does the concrete floor keep it cooler in the summer too?
If you want a really efficient wood burning stove, look into rocket mass heaters.
The house is a rocket mass stove. Only big enough to actually heat the house.
Starry, I just love you! :) I wonder - future planning here ;) - what if one were to surround their wood stove on 2 of the sides, with a knee wall made of stone or brick, if you don't have a soapstone stove? And did your video play twice in one showing, or is mine being goofy today?! lol
We did that exact thing back in Wisconsin!! we had a bar ell and converted it into a stove and placed it on blocks and then built a wall around it...worked great!! YES yes do it@@
that's cool,but a lot of weight unless your floor is concrete
good so many think they are not needed. some new stove ( cook stoves ) are built in, but don't work very well.
Yours must be out if sight, ya, on a good stove, you shut both ends and it should all but go out aka burn all nite
Is Mr. H concreting the rock on the wall behind the heater during his spare time ? Paul & Susan North Georgia (Just watched the weather channel looks like U are getting a lot of snow and Ice)
its one massive rock chimmney. yes hes picking rock and stacking it with cement
Just buy a thermal mass wood stove in the first place and you will be better off and burn far less wood.
Do u have suggestions for the residue that a wood stove produces. We heat with wood as well. Great heat, however, There is dust. The fan blades show it the most. I clean the black build up often. The worst of it, I'm allergic. I suffer each winter. I suffer from eye infections, eczema flare ups, sneezing. Any advice is appreciated.
Get a water air cleaner. It swirls water like a tornado while sucking in air. The water catches all the stuff in the air. Works great.
with a damper in the pipe you would save another 30% heat and wood usage
there is a damper on the back of the stove right where the pipe enters. we can kill the fire by shutting that damper down by itself. but yes like say...having a damper in the pipe otherwise is a must!
Doesn't that floor work against you in summer though? Or do you have a lot of heavy curtains to keep the windows blocked?
in the summer when its 90 out the floor keeps the temp inside around 70-74.
but yes having shades on the south and west windows is a must!
Hi Starry your looking beautiful as always coul I ask how big your house is thanks
Put them rocks under yer bed at nite that should keep you and the dogs warm fer sure.
Charles Dyer or cause a house fire and burn it all down lol. What kind of advice is that mate ?
When is the last time you seen a rock burn ?Christopher Moody
Does the stone & rock take any heat away from the fire when you have it roaring, so the house is less warm? And, does your rock keep the freeze out until the morning in deep winter?
no , the rock aids in holding the heat. there is enough exposure on the stove so that when it roaring...plenty of that "right now" heat coming off of it.
when all that rock and cement get heated up...takes 2-3 days to cool down.
WOW. That's fantastic, the very worst part about a wood or peat fire is no matter how well you feed it before bed by morning it's stone (haha) cold, and you have to rake it out and clean it in bitter, bitter cold. You've solved that problem brilliantly! Come to think of it, it sort of explains all those river rock fireplaces they have on ranches in places like Wyoming and Montana, don't they have very severe winters too?
if your floor is wood then u reenforce your under pinnin, we did for an 1800's house we lived in to put my 600 pound Mama Bear wood stove in 1996 no problem.
Why did nobody say anything about it being ran 2 times?
because we love watching and listening to Starry so much!
ok you guys are way to sweet..sorry about the double play..i have been sick sick sick and i am missing alot of things because im so sick..yuck!!
Nice to see you are doing better, twice the treat. Love the positive attitude you have on life.
So if people take your advice and the concrete explodes does it mean you'll get a lawsuit ?
If you get that wood stove hot enough to explode concrete and rock..... The stove the exploding wood would be the issue.
The exploding wood stove would be the problem. We are not smelting iron just heating the house.
I like it, why you do not comp your hair?
Most people don't comp their hair.
Have you guys ever thought of building a Rocket Mass stove like the one they built on you tube channel ' Fouch - o - matic off grid' ?? They have been having great results. Check out there channel.
I have a fire place can u burn on your rocks ? and will it do the same thing or is that not a good idea
set them around the fireplace...it may help yes!!
Ok ty ..because i was thinking using them as a base for the wood to burn on ,wasnt sure if it would do the same as you mentioned in your videp
☺☺❤❤
