  • Today we are installing the Martin propane heater in our off grid cabin. We are getting the cabin ready for winter so our solar batteries stay warm in the Canadian winter weather!

    Three generations working together to give the youngest a boost really warms my heart!

      Please! This young lady needs a role on "The Big Bang Theory"! She would be a great addition, as her personality, smarts, quirkiness and the way she talks would be a good addition to the sitcom.

    Thanks for sharing I'm also in New Brunswick and off grid and have lead acid batteries here's a fact check lead acid batteries if fully charged won't freeze until -75 so with lead acid batteries you must cycle them once a day keep them fully charged if you can I also will be buying this Martin unit soon

    Your home is coming together! My husband and I are so happy to find your channel. We are moving to New Brunswick and are looking for some land to off grid on. If you wouldn’t mind could I contact you and ask some questions about areas, and permits?

    It’s -38 here right now, I topped off a 30lb propane bottle yesterday around 4:00pm an after running it yesterday afternoon and last night I now have approximately half a bottle left an it’s only 10:54 am..
    Did not think this heater was going to be this terrible on propane..! To fill that 30lb propane bottle cost me 41.13 ..
    I even got up durning the night to shut the heater off an thought I’d be good for a while.. NOPE..! Wasn’t the case at all..!
    I bought the Martin Propane Direct Vent Heater MDV20VP 20000 Btu...
    Diff NOT IMPRESSED..!
    Along with the warm temps, also come high humidity. Currently +17, 18 in here with 52% humidity ..
    Current sq footage of my semi off grid shelter is 384sq/ft..
    Yup... am NOT impressed at all..!!!

    Also is it better or safer with a vent, this one is a martin, and mr heater are ventless, I tend to think that a vent is better, but would like input.

  • @revon0521
    @revon0521 Před 10 měsíci

    I hope the exterior siding doesn't rot around the vent. It should have been blocked out and properly designed to shed water and snow.

    Is there a reason that you chose this specific heater? Did you do a video on the specs, price heating area, etc?

    What size of propane tank are you using to fuel this heater and do you have an estimate on how much propane you might use?

    • @backtothelandliving
      @backtothelandliving  Před 11 měsíci +3

      We are using 100 lbs propane tanks so we can move them to be refilled. We have not lived in the cabin through a winter yet so unsure on how much we will use but I plan on doing a video about that this coming winter.

      Hi, I don't have a whole video tour of the inside yet but I did do a quick little tour at the end of my last video czcams.com/video/k5TsKc7YdVI/video.html TIME 8:20. I look forward to making one in the future!

    Why did you select a direct vent over a vent free model?

    • @SaabAholic
      @SaabAholic Před 8 měsíci +1

      For one thing, a vented model doesn’t cause condensation like the vent free ones do.

    What has the performance of the heater been like? I am looking at something similar for our cabin in northern Ontario.

    • @backtothelandliving
      @backtothelandliving  Před rokem

      We have not had to use it too much, as spring is on its way. However it seems to heat up pretty nicely, the one draw back is after install we were told it goes through propane quickly...

    I apparently missed the last month's worth of updates. I found you not long ago and noticed you hadn't posted content in the previous 8 months so I was worried I had found a channel that was no longer active. I'm so excited to see you back. 🤍 Turned on the notify all, but we'll see how that goes... 😅
