Ahem well, you will not be the 1st to show how not to start a fire Christian but it's okay. This is what I call a girl guide method & surprizingly a lot of so called survival teachers teach it. Especially with an open fire & somewhat damp wood or wet, adding later is a sure fire way to die in North Country. When I get time I'll send you a vid on how to go about it.  I still enjoyed your wood stove video. Tossdart

yeah, theres a difference between outside and inside for sure, been there

Very nice, I have been thinking about getting one. Is there a way to control the heat for when you are cooking on it?

[theproducegarden]

its hard but u get the nack for it, you just move the pot around or take off the lid onto direct heat for frying, the oven can get REALLY hot, i often have to open the door so i don't burn things.

Everyone calls these obsolete and electricity and gas "progress" when in actuality having piped in water, city sewer, piped gas and wired electricity isnt progress but convenient dependence on someone else for your safety and comfort. If its progress then why do people fall back on wood heat, kerosene lighting and haul water when the utilities are down? Even gas stations are dead if power is out yet years ago they hand pumped the gas from the tanks to the cars. Everyone should learn the old way

Love my woodstove. Cuts heating costs soooo much. Mine gets the house so hot you can hardly stand it, but that's the point.

Great vid!

The hot plate is the wrong way round. the flu shouldn't be over the fire.

Oh this is so great, thank you. I loved it.

my domestic hot water is heated either by my wood cooker, my solar evacuated tubes or the electric element in the tank. I have a switch so I can turn off the element so it only heats if it's cold and cloudy and I'm not running the wood stove. It's a fantastic arrangement - great flexibility and can cost nothing to run depending how/where I source the wood. Am totally addicted and can't imagine ever wanting a conventional system again... Love that water is heating while I cook, make yogurt, etc..

i have a rayburn 500 - very similar to yours. I go about things in a similar way to what you do, but I have learned over time that I need to get a good bed of coals going before I go to really large pieces of wood. I tend to use pieces the size you have called 'large kindling' for quite some time while I get either the stove top or the oven or both, up to the cooking heat I want. My stove is like many appliances in one - I defrost in the warming oven, make yogurt, cook, stay warm etc - lovely!
