Coal Burning Stove Install | Lighting First Fire in the Shop

Everybody saying exactly what I’m thinking - whoopee, one of your videos has landed! Always different, there’s no way yours are formulaic and predictable. I love them, you are brilliant.

Snow is still on the ground and already prepping for next winter 😂. A dream life.

Get a 4x8 sheet of cement board for between the stove and wall. You can set that stuff right on a hot surface and not feel the heat on the other side. Stuff is great for keeping heat away from flammable surfaces. Another thing is a fan behind the stove up high blowing down at a 45 degree angle really helps keep the heat down at the floor where you want it.

Putting the braces at a wider angle was a very wise move, that will help stabilize the pipe in high winds. Great job. 😃

Not only do I love watching your videos, I love reading comments from people with suggestions. You have built a great community.❤

I remember when you guys first came to Alaska and you have come so far, learned so much, and accomplished even more.

Suggestion from my woodworking man is to take less wood off with the planer at a time. Saves your blade and wood will be smooth. Love spending a little time with you two interesting people.

It's like Simple Living Alaska TV on cable. So natural and unpredictable, always entertaining and educational. Great stuff!

Everything comes to a screeching stop when I see the notification. Another amazing episode of The further Adventures of 2 brave souls and Bandit.

I just love your videos. They're always interesting, always different, and - I have to say this - I REALLY appreciate that not a single one of them has ever been marred by an awful "this week's sponsor" ad. Instead, if you like stuff, you tell us, and if you don't like stuff, you tell us. Thank you for that and for taking us along on yet another adventure.

Boy will that puppy dry laundry in a hurry in the dead of winter! You guys always find a way to adapt and overcome. Have a blessed week!

😂 I really hope people stay til the very end for the bloopers and fun stuff you top off your videos with!

I watch many Alaska YouTubers because I am originally from Alaska and your videos are absolutely the BEST, as a couple I admire your relationship, as a videographer you are amazing. I always look forward to your videos every week. You fill my loneliness for Alaska

How do you manage to get so much done between videos? Im amazed you manage to do so much

I didn't think Ariel could get anymore huggable but she did with the new hairdo. Lol. The coal stove is really cool. When your shop is heated in the long winter days you will be doing all kind of projects. So happy for the two of you. Be safe.

All I know is the 2 of them can do anything. Maybe not in the first shot, but they always figure it out. Great team. For the 2 of them to move a 1050 lbs stove by themselves amazing

Love your videos. Here's a pro tip for you. The chimney piping is installed backwards. Stove discharge slips inside the exhaust pipe, the end of that pipe will be crimped down to fit into the next. This ensure no exhaust leaks as the flow of gas slipspast each joint. Also, you're bogging down your plainer. Take smaller shaves, you have really rough cut lumber. the blade will last longer. God bless y'all. Much love!

Yipeeeeeee!!! Oh my gosh, once you get that spray foam insulation done that place with be an INCREDIBLE asset! Who am I kidding, it's already an incredible asset. But it's going to be SUCH a luxury to have so much heated space with excellent lighting to work in and store everything in under cover. This is going to allow you to take on all kinds of projects in the winter that have never been possible, and to do a lot of things you have always done outdoors in winter (and frozen your fingers off) in a warm conditioned, well lit space. Having this shop will greatly increase your comfort level, productivity and the number of projects you can take on, in winter especially. All your hard work is really paying off. Congratulations!

Hey, Eric & Arielle! If the paint was poorly done at the factory then it all needs removing and degreasing before repainting or it will keep flaking away. When you're drying out freshly milled lumber, try to put spacers/stickers between every layer in your drying pile. Good problem solving on the chimney installation. I'm looking forward to all the major projects this summer.👍🏼

You ought to y awarded a great big blue ribbon for being the finest working together couple of the world!!!! What a blessing you are to humanity. God be with your spirit Sherry Montez Mississippi USA
