If you are new to my channel and Fy Nyth (Welsh for "My Nest") in general, welcome! I'm Ariel. Along with my husband Clay, our dogs, and some poultry, we live in a tiny house on wheels in the mountains of western Wyoming and are working on setting into our own new little homestead. I've been living this lifestyle since 2014 and my wonderful partner has joined me more recently. What will you find if you follow the channel and watch the videos?
Real life here. I try to show the good and the bad. The ups and the downs. What works, and what doesn't. The parts I love (most of it!), and the things that suck. Not just the showroom version of a tiny house, but everyday life in a tiny house. Not just the romantic idea of "homesteading" or off grid life, but the everyday details of this lifestyle. We split wood for heat, fill the water tank from a gravity fed spring, and attempt to grow as much of our own food as possible between the weather and wildlife here. I hope to help others learn from mistakes and make life just a little easier for anyone else interested in pursuing a similar lifestyle.
We live in a somewhat harsh and cold climate, but enjoy the stunning scenery and wildlife that we are surrounded by on a daily basis. You'll also see videos of the nature and wildlife around my home. If you are interested in my photography or purchasing a photo, I'd love if you follow that over at mewe.com/join/arielcelestepho... or ArielCelestePhotography.zenfolio.com!

I too run my wood stove from about the third week of October clear through and tapering off in May. I'm pretty sure my neighbors thought I was crazy burning that late in the year, but if its 50 out, my house won't warm up without at least a small morning fire. (I'm a tiny old lady so I'm always cold.)

4:50 To avoid waking up at 2am because the stove went out and it is freezing cold you probably need thermal mass, so if you put a big pot with rocks in water on top, sometimes that will help radiate heat through the night. There are many other ways too.

Every gallon of propane burned in a fire with no external flue creates a gallon of water vapor which condenses out on every cold surface in the house. LP is a lousy space heating fuel for it's cost or efficiency...but good for cooking. NG is bad for the environment but goes well in furnaces... If you have your own wood supply and cut it yourself...nothing beats wood....

Sleeping with the windows open was a practice related old forms of heating houses which caused carbon monoxide deaths.

Subscribed. Because of your knowledge about how burning pine vs deciduous trees really affects creosote production. Nice. Since my parents burned wood for heat when I was just a pup my body has been heated by wood, and at times overheated by wood, for many many years. Locally, burning pine is considered a no-no (ostensibly because of creosote buildup) and whenever I'd get in a discussion with someone anti-pine burning I'd ask what they thought people burn where there is no hardwood, the discussion would generally come to a stop.

Well, can always check out pellet stoves. Some can look just like wood stoves but easier to refuel as you can do things like have a gravity fed container auto-refilling the stove, and it can even be controlled by a thermostat and timer for leave it and forget it like a modern furnace heater... They also sell versions for outdoor grilling/smoking... While, a larger home, you can opt for an exterior wood furnace that can feed the heat into the home, as well as act as boiler for hot water, and being much larger can run for many hours with just the occasional refueling...

Glad you were able to solve the issue with the wind cap. We just moved our Woodstock Soapstone wood stove to our camp in PA since we had to move out of our 100yo house to a townhouse (thanks, Covid). We have an older Woodstock wood stove too for the bunkhouse. Highly recommend Woodstock Soapstone wood stoves in Vermont if anyone is in the market. We went through the first winter w/o one and paid $1200 for 3 months of forced air heat. Placed an order the following spring and installed it over the summer. Nothing beats woodstove heating!

I have a 140 year old yankee frame of about 1000 sq ft. I insulated all I could. about R50 or more in ceiling. I heat entirely with wood in northern WV area near Pittsburg and I use about the same as she does or 1.5 to 2 cords per winter. I have a big stove, but I have to cut and split small pieces 8-10 inches long because regular size wood would be too much at one time and it's difficult to light and burn a single piece. I usually light two fires per day in colder weather, one in the morning and one in the evening. I usually can't maintain a fire continuously as it's far too much heat. I like single digit temps as I can keep a fire going all day. It's all about insulation.

Those wind caps work great I put one on my ice shack, I drilled a 1 1/2 inch hole in the floor next to my stove burns better make up air, it cut down on drafts too

This fire pit is one of a few covered pits that is on the list ukposts.infoUgkxAU9pOCSV9Y5JprooHvfxTpOrt4hx8uRM of approved products for Disney Fort Wilderness. The product served its purpose well and provided excellent fires throughout the evening. We were able to open the door and do s'mores, but I had to be careful because the handle was a bit hot on occasions. Additionally, I wish they had replaced some of the standard nuts with lock nuts in some places. We lost the door handle after just a couple of days of usage. Not a deal breaker, just a recommendation. I still give it 5 stars.

Ive just bought a dwarf stove with external air intake so no need to open doors as fire gets all its air from outside so does not starve your living environment of oxygen.

We just installed a cubic mini a few days ago in our little 250 sq foot cabin and we LOVE it so far!

What is a cubic mini? I have a 200sqft cabin using an oil radiator currently, I was afraid a woodstove would be roasting during the day and cold at night, and would need feeding every 2-4 hrs. Her talk on constant cleaning now also has me worried, lol!

@@WTFarmGirl it is a small wood stove made for use in tiny homes, RV’s and boats. We do have to feed it pretty often, but it does keep our little cabin quite cozy and warm. We are only using wood that we have here on our property, which is Doug fir. I’m sure hardwood would have a longer, slower burn.

Love the wind cap. I’m getting a spot made to put a wood stove back into the lower part of the house. I believe the original owners had one down here. I wasn’t sure if they ditched it for a fire propane stove due to ease of selling, or if the wind was too much. So this is very timely, and Hi Burley!

I also live in a very small house and only heat it with a wood stove in the middle of the woods in southern Indiana but my house is not air tight so I use a lot more wood than you do but I love it most women don't like the mess in the house but that's ok I live alone now and I don't care about it just clean it up every day it is 18 out now and 72 inside good enough nice to see a woman who really enjoys her wood stove nice video

I've one of those fans you've on top of the stove. It's nice to see it moving and all that, but I'm not sure it distributes the heat around the room in a more effective way than without it. Cheers!

I've noticed that when I'm out in the cold walking my dogs (my tortoise comes inside fir the winter because it's just too cold in wv even for her to burrow) or moving the snow when I come back inside at first its nice to be really warm but then as I settle I feel way too hot and it takes me a while to adjust to that temperature difference I'm also not fully used to winter though I'm from further south and it really didn't get anywhere near this cold and we only got very light snow maybe 2 times a year so we're learning lol I do plan on moving back south and trying to start a little homestead one day but for now I'm in mortuary school so I guess I'll figure out how to deal better with the cold as each winter comes and goes
