My last home had a wood stove, loved it! The house was built by a Mennonite gentleman and next to the wood stove was a small door that when opened had a small room to hold wood, then on the outside of the house was another small door, where you filled that room. No hauling wood inside, it was wonderful. All I had to do was open that small door and grab a few pieces and toss it in the stove (the stove door was right next to the door in the wall). Brilliant planning.
Burning wood is a lot of work. But it saves the money.
Thanks for the wood stove education Starry! We need some more Mr. Hilder videos on his life experiences:
- His first job
- Secret for the big bucks
- Surviving on a limited income
- Typical repairs around the homestead
Thank You Guys!
I think he needs his own channel::)))))
I miss the little trash burner wood stove we had when I was a kid. It was set up in our kitchen and was so toasty warm on cool mornings. Yes, it was a bit messy, but worth it! Love those pine cones hanging from the ceiling. Cute idea! :-)
Thanks for the reality check. I still want one for my enclosed porch. I have gas and electric, but the gas doesn't work without the electric. During a "rare blizzard", I need a wood stove. Besides, economically, things don't look so good for U.S., so I'm stepping up my survival game thanks to you, Starry.
A-flippin-men to that. Dust everywhere!
Hey Starry Girl. We would love to have a wood stove, but my husband has COPD from years and years of smoking. To my shame, I hate to admit that I smoke too. Do not be too disappointed in me Starry Girl. I know and believe the Lord will help me get the victory over this! Amen. But dont know how it would affect my husband's COPD. But it is still our dream. Never stop dreaming, Starry Girl. Be blessed and healed. Shalom
"Thank you Lord for Mr. Hilder's SALVATION."
Love the clothes horse near the stove. I got one for Christmas and LOVE it! You're right....there is dirt involved, but WOW...I love ours and it's our first winter using it. Our wood stove is near a deck door and we keep wood just outside the door on the covered deck, so it helps cut down on dirt being dragged in with the wood. We're fairly new homesteaders and our wood stove is one of our favorite additions to our home-turned-homestead. (Other winners are meat birds, growing and using herbs, and water catchment system.) Thanks for the vid!
oh I sooo agree - there is ALWAYS woodchips, dirt and wood debree, once I got over it and accepted that this is how it is I am soo happy with the woodstove!
I just love your home. It's really beautiful.
hi starry, lots of good info. makes me think again of where to place the stove.thank you maryann
I love using wood stove and I use corn to heat the house too
I enjoy your videos, Starry! Thanks for doing them!
Your welcome!!!
dirty is right. My wife just hates the dirt, dust, etc. lol but our wood "bill" is about 10% less then if we heated with electricity. No gas out our way. And propane is up in price too.
Kind of a clean freak ask Mr Hilder, thank you for the giggle.
Soooooooo good to see you back to "normal"!!!!!!! I love wood stoves. I love the clanking of the burner lids and doors and the spitting of the logs and the smell.....sigh.
Just think, I could avoid all that mess by not burning wood. In the Winter, my bill in my stick built home in the city cost me $350-400 per Winter month to heat. The wood heating of our home on the property only cost us a little labor and a minor mess without every paying a Gym membership to keep fit. Retired and living off grid with wood heat, I pay for my property taxes just off less than two Winter months cost of heat in the city. Living in a concrete city is also cleaner (appearance) than living on a farm of dirt. But the benefits of those dirty places seem to far outway any benefits of living in the city.
Great info, life happens. You defiantly can worry about it. Have a good afternoon!!!
Thank you Starry and Mr. Hilder! This city gal learns something new (and fun) from each and every video! Bountiful blessings, and your lip looks like mahvelous healing is happening! Roll Tide, MJ in Knoxvegas
Your poor lip is healing nicely. My house is covered with dust and dog hair again and I cleaned two days ago. It happens. I stopped being a neat freak when I became a mom. It was a losing battle.lol
Hahah i suppose being am om to ..you get use to the dirt...I GOT use to it when we got the dogs..and then the wood stove...love the stove and now dontmind the dirt too much...and yes..the lip is coming along..still numb..but AT LEAST i have a lip!!
Why all the stone on top of the stove, whats the gain from this? Is this a Mr H idea or yours?
Vox Populi She did a whole video about this not so long ago. Thermal Mass... the wood fire heats up the stone, and the stone retains the heat, (just like rocks in the sun) then when the fire's out, the stone radiates that heat back into the cabin. It's scientific!
I figured this much. Im not retarded. I was just curious if there was some other purposes behind what they were doing. My great uncle lived like he was still in the 1700s. And in order to have a decent hot bath, he would use every inch of his stove top to heat water, and was not nearly enough. So he used several layers of cast iron that he would use to also transfer heat to the other half of the water in the large tub....instead of waiting for more water to heat up while the rest of his already hot and poured water wd get cold.
Also at times that he was planning to scoop out all the ashes, he would take advantage of the situation using the hot coals to cook something , or heat his bath tub out side in the summer. The guy never wasted anything. He saved every drop of oil from a tractor that his nephew used and any other "newfangled crazy contraption" as he had always said to my granfather who was fond of motorcycles n cars and tractors. Gus would rather use horses to plow his land. He never cared to have electricity, he used oil lamps which he traded turkey eggs for the oil. He had an out house behind his barn and lived in a tiny cabin not much bigger than a one stall garage. The building itself was two tiny cottage hotel rooms that he rolled all the way from the train tracks to his property with horses. My grandfather inherited the 130 acres and the cabin and it still stands today. In fact i have been there every spare minute i have and live exactly the same way for as many days as i can before having to return to work. I am the oldest of the grand children and have toiled my whole life to my grandfathers needs, and have dreamed to over come the greed of my my aunts and uncles to inherit this property so i can spend my days exactly as my great uncle had. The only modern things i have brought to that cabin was a solar panel, so my ol lady can watch DVDs.
Vox Populi Well good luck to you Vox. I in no way intended any insult by my reply. In answer to your query about why the stones & rocks cover almost all of the stove I replied with the information I got from Starry's video about them, I asked the same question as you, and took your question to be the same as mine, I didn't know and hadn't thought about the science. Maybe it will be of some assistance to you in your uncle's cabin.
We pack wood into 12 gallon plywood boxes in the woodshed and carry those into the house. That way the debris does not spread around. Nunnauuni does not spread ashes either.
Great job Starry
Like they asked below, please give us a walk through and discuss each of your taxidermy mounts!
When I moved into this old stone house and was renovating it, I decided to install a large pellet stove to heat the middle and top floors. The house already had a big fireplace on the bottom floor. The pellet stove heats well but not as well as a wood stove. The best part is that I only have to clean it once every two days after using it for about 12 to 16 hours a day in very cold weather. What I didn't know before I had it installed is how heavy the sacks of pellets are. They weigh about 33 lbs per bag. I use one bag or on warmer days a half bag per day. I have to wheelbarrow them in two's from my car up and down the village steps, and then carry them into the house and up my stairs to the room where the pellet stove is located. Then I have to lift those heavy bags of pellets high up on top of the stove to pour them in. Whew. I get tired even talking about it. Haha. I think every type of basic heating has it's challenges. And yes, the pellet stove leaves a grey dust on things. But not quite as much as the wood fireplace downstairs, which has a door on it btw.
I have a wood stove that we use exclusively for winter heating. I need to dust. Dust is my boogie man ha ha
yep wood stoves come with a mess but I love that dry heat!
how true... thank you for sharing...yea.... wood stove is very messy, for all the reasons you said, but we do love wood heat and cooking...god bless you .....
wood stoves really dry the interior of the house out as well, so in order to cut down some of the dust slightly (this tip will reduce it just slightly) is to put an old pot or tea kettle filled with water on the stove. it also cuts down on the static build up in certain objects in the house
HolzMichel that's what my Dad does. I don't remember there being that much dust in their house and they definitely didn't dust daily. I always enjoyed watching the flames in their wood stove and will definitely install a wood stove when I get my own house.
Real wood heat being used constantly is constant work and cleaning. Fact!!! You nailed it!
I heated my house in Cal for three years with wood I cut in the National Forest. Permit cost me $6 per cord. Chain saw was $250. Fuel for truck was $20 per cord. Sledge and maul another $30. Went through about 1 1/2 cords per year. Cut 15 cords per year (mostly Cedar and Doug Fir). Sold for $150 per cord (split and stacked). Always wanted to make up a metal shop vac hose to vac out stove so vac could be outside and eliminate ash mess.
Spring clean. Worry about cleaning then. 😃
I live on a gravel road so I don't know what it is like to NOT have dust. Oh well, I can deal with it. Have a great day.
Put those ashes on your garden!! They add minerals to your soil. Make sure you do a soil analysis to make sure the soil, or wood chips for Back to Eden garden, is at good levels for what you are growing. You will learn if you need fertilizer or not so this will save you money if you have to purchase manure or other organic fertilizers if your soil is good in the first place and it shows you do not need any. Some veggies require more acidic soil, some require less. You can get a good soil analyzer for about $26 on Amazon. It requires no batteries. I like the "Rapitest" by "luster leaf". It seems to be accurate and has high ratings.
GREAT POINTS...still want one though! =)
Do you have any more articles coming up in Mother Earth News? With Spring just around the corner, it's time to start talking gardens!
I always cheer when I see a new Starry video--especially when I think they could have ended in Aug. So glad you're here. Good tip about the wood stove dirt. We hope to put in a Russian stove when the time comes.
I cheer to!! god is so awesome..and He keeps me in line...I am blessed to be abler to keep sharing!!!
great points!
i dont have a wood stove an my house isnt sparkly clean either lol...im just not all that worried about dust..
We plan on getting a small stove for inside the house. I want to learn to cook outside to learn how then we will put it inside in case of urban power outages ,disaster type situations that will allow us to have heat in the living room and be able too cook. Just part our preparedness skills. Hugs.
Super super good point....I have a wood stove and it is very messy and dusty....BUT... we love wood heat no other heat can match it.
1122kiwi, No pun intended.
Hi Starry!
Yes, it's dirty. I put my stove about 4' from the door to the back deck. I'll be installing slate or ceramic tile under it and for about 30" inside the door.
I love the warmth of woodstoves but I can't take them in my house all the time does a number on allergies.
I burn with my flue mostly closed when I have efficient firewood. I know it's a stove burning no-no, but burning this way seems to produce more heat at the stove and less back-drafting through the chimney.
Sooooo....if you want to burn wood but don't want the dirt in the house, it sounds like you want an outside wood fired boiler to keep all that outside.
Alternatively, if your house is suited for it, you can dramatically reduce the amount of wood burned (and thus stuff tracked in) by using the much more efficient rocket mass heater. (Fouchomatic Off Grid recently named their rmh as one of their best decisions)
dirty vs warmth..... i will take the warmth over the dirt anyday.... it is only dirt.
Thanks for the video. I've been using the same blue kettle that you have for years :)
I don't have a wood cool stove yet, but I want one. We already heat with wood. I know the debris.
Is there anything a you would have build differently in your house now you lived in it for many years ?
Can you talk about safety of the wood stove sometime? We just had a chimney fire in our home. It was very scary... I I want too have another one... but not I am a little scared. The whole family made it out safe... thankful to God..
clean chimney min once thru out the winter. but better yet make sure to use seasoned wood and always burn that fire hot then turn ur dampner down. late winter whn it warms is problem time. gets hot in the house to easy. use fewr pieces of wood but still burn it hot. open windows if need be. yes that would be a good video to do. glad everyone is safe!
Starry,
Why do you have stones/bricks on your wood stove? Love your videos 😊
They absorb heat while the fire is burning and then continue to give off a little heat after the fire has gone out.
I've been burning wood for quite a few years and agree with eveything you said. The returns are still worth it as far as I'm concerned. You forgot to mention one thing. Always check to make sure there are no frozen hornets or bees in there. They can be frozen solid and come back to life when warmed up next to the stove. Ask me how I know...
Do you heat the whole house with that stove? It must work great the way Mr. Hilder is dressed.
I don't worry about the debris although it's annoying when the cats knock my kindling all over the place. The dust all over the house is worrisome because we must all be breathing it in.
Yes there's the mess. I have a cook stove and it's in the kitchen. An awful lot of sweeping and wiping and the such, but that would happen anyhow in that room. I don't let it bother me. I don't like the constant dusting and wiping down everything but I never loved dusting anyhow. lol There's just more of it. I do love the heat and with 100 acreas of wood bush why would I go any other route and pay some one else for heat.
Besides, we just got a terrible ice storm this week and it took down major trees and branches. I have massive fire wood for next year and that's just the part of the bush I can see. It's still too dangerous to venture into the bush right now, for the ice. I may have who knows how much dead fall now. If I don't take it up. It becomes a fire hazard out there.
all that soot is also in your lungs....
I'm guessing that you've never heated with a wood-stove. And if you did, you didn't do so "properly" ?
COUGAR......WOOOO WOOO
First your lip looks GTEAT and good to see your BEAUTIFUL self back 100%. Yes wood is just hard work and dirty but GREAT HEAT!!!! Blessings Paul & Susan North Georgia
I have the chance to go off grid 70 acres of land the price tag scares me. every thing is set up for what I like. again its the price tag. then again Minnesota living how can you go wrong
Re 2:57 .. you inhale that same amount of dust. So in effect, your lungs are part of the "natural filter" of your home, I guess. :-D
Best to inhale properly through your nose, rather than through an open mouth, lest your lungs get daily rations of that dust.
Hey, I save $1500 a year by heating with wood. I'll gladly live with bark on the floor and ash and dust on my tables. And it's only for 4-6 months out of the year anyway.
YES I will take bark and ash any day...The savings are HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought EPA ban wood stove. I think you can only buy would stove base on what state you are living in. I haven't seen much wood stove in California.
i think in cal. they ban everything it seems!
What is the purpose of the rocks on the woodstove?
Starry your lip is looking great again. what was the name of stove that you used? God bless you!
Kitchen queen!!! Cooks bakes and burns wood!!!
Starry Hilder your stove reminds me of the one that I saw Ruth Goodman use in the Victorian Farm BBC production, but she used coal instead, as the heating and cooking source. you can watch the program on CZcams to check it out. I highly recommend it.
Is'nt your wood box too close to the stove?
why don't you try a terracota stove? here in romania we have them in all houses
Interesting, never hear do f one..cleaner?
Starry Hilder it is cleaner but also keeps in the heat better. it's more economical. i see you having a lot of stones above the stove to keep in the heat i supose
How good is that for your lungs?
Still waiting for that sausage video
hahah its being loaded for next weeek
Starry on last vid I ask about a hide is that possible or not thanks
yes! if u pm us we can take care of details.
Starry, I'm a new Subscriber, have nearly an hour watching your videos, much enjoyed. Now a question, why do you call your Husband Mr Hilder and not his name, I will understand if that is a private thing. Must say your lip is healing very well.
Welcome to our homestead...and yes i do call him Mr hilder..kinda like how Wranglestar calls his wife i think Mrs W..we have nicknames for each other!
I am just starting to plan a cabin. I was thinking about a wood stove and was wondering about the feasibility of making the door to the stove open into a special room that is sealed off from the rest of the cabin. Any thoughts on this subject out there would be appreciated.
thats sounds...ummm...im not sure..i cant visualize it....maybe elaborate??
The stove would be built with a flange around the end with the door on it so that it could be fastened into a hole in the wall. All the smoke and ash would stay on the side of the wall with the door on it, and the rest of the stove and the stovepipe would be in the room you want the heat. I was thinking an entrance mudroom which would also serve as wood storage.
What is Mr Hilders first name?
Midway mr. duh.....
why do you have all of those rocks stacked on the stove?
Starry just did a video about that. Go back a couple of weeks and it is there.
January 18....fire wood tips
Not dirty dirt. Animal dirt is real dirty!!
Starry do you have kids?
Hey Starry, I have got to apologize for the stupid dumb comment I made on this one that I see you must have deleted. Thanks. I am still trying to get both my feet out of my mouth. I was stupid, stupid, stupid, dumb, dumb, dumb!! Maybe still am. I did not watch the whole video. I know you and Mr. Hilder are sill having a good laugh over it!! I bet you both are still talking about it and scratching your heads over it wondering what was I thinking about. :) 🤣 I jumped to conclusion because I know some folks complain about ash dust and other dust all over their room where they have a stove. I find that many of these stoves do not have the proper chimneys and do not draft well, so I was correct on that one, BUT after getting back to watch this, you are VERY correct. When you have a fireplace or a stove THERE WILL be dust and dirt brought in. It can be a mess and requires keeping ahead of all the cleaning up. ONE thing too is if there are a lot of bugs in the area outdoors you can bring those in especially any that may be hibernating in the wood for the winter.
Our fireplace is in the living room and we have to bring in wood through the breezeway and then through the kitchen and then to the living room, so our house was not well laid out back in the early 50's. They did not think about how it would be to bring wood in.
