I positively love the independence and freedom from town that wood stove provides. Even in a worse-case scenario, your "cabin-on-wheels" would still be readily heated in the coldest parts of Oregon winters and allow you shelter and a means to warm and cook certain foods. Awesome work, Jason!
As a part time fabricator, I must say great Job! Equally as important was the ability to articulate the problems and solutions along the way.
Jason, you are a genius. I Loved watching this video and I am impressed with all the tools and expertise you have.
That mag drill is so sick.
Man, seeing all of those metal working tools looks fun. I’d like to get into metal working and make funky gadgets like window inserts for stoves inside vans. So cool, brilliant!
Amazing metal fabrication. Well done!
That is a super cool set-up. Impressive that you made all the mounts as well. thanks for the video
I love the Woodstove install in the van.What a difference it has to make for you-not just warmth,but ambiance!I couldn’t live without my Woodstove in my house and in my cabin up north.I love the channel even more now.
Use a stove fan that you place on the top of the stove. It doesnt need any other energy than the heat the stove creates. It will make a big difference and heat up your van in no time. Only problem is that some of them makes a little noise.
Super cool! I have a dwarf4k in my cabin! The quality of your kit you made looks so good that you down the road could build them and sell them on your website! đź‘Ź nice work Bud! Paul in Oregon
Jason, the acquiring the skill set to to use tools/techniques to accomplish this job is nothing short of Excellent! Tools and material..this is how Proper Planning looks. Issues addressed and overcome. Checking available resources and adopting them into Plan. "What do I want it to do. How do I want it to function. How will I perform maintenance on it." Form Follows Function. Excellent demonstration and Presentation!
Great job on fabricating the lower items first your stove. Nice set-up for cutting out your metal. Tweaking everything to maximize that draft took a while but it looks like you perfected it. Thanks for sharing this Jason.
Great job! I think you can go online and find the formula for draft. For every 90* turn there is an equivalent vertical length of pipe to keep the draft going.
Very well thought out Jason... Great fabrication skills.
Awesome build. If you had a double wall pipe, you could use a silicone stove jack to go through the panel in the window opening. That way you wouldn’t have any gap where cold air would enter.
The woodbox base turned out great!
I love the wood stove in the camper van! it really turns it into alittle cabin!
Nice build. I am concerned about the intense heat that might melt or burn your inside door panel. Maybe a heat shield might work.
