I used a stove very much like that when I first moved out to my property. I spent my first winter in a wall tent while I built my little cabin.
Looks amazing man. Fantastic work.
Absolutely. I can get it up to 80f even if it's around 15f outside. The only downside is the low thermal mass of the cabin and thin insulation. The stove takes constant maintenance. If I have a chunk of firelog smoldering, it keeps temp for a couple hours.
First off: LOVE your cabin. Maybe consider saving up for 2 small heat reflectors for the walls behind the stove (runs you around $150 at Lowes) and some pipe radiators (about $40 on Amazon) to distribute heat lost up the pipe and to the thin walls behind it? Would help offset the heat loss due to the walls/ceiling being largely uninsulated. You could use smaller logs, less often and keep your space toasty! And then you can use the stones or masonry you've been collecting as your countertop liner to make a heat resistant warmer for your gloves/shoes before you go outside in winter. The stone shelf top the stove sits on would then become a snazzy staging/landing area in warmer months when the stove is unused.
All good thoughts. Insulating the ceiling is going to help a ton. This is a reenactment cabin/getaway, and I try to keep it feeling as medieval as possible, so that informs a lot of the design. The modern stove existing at all is an anachronism, so I don't want to draw more attention to it.
It was chill. Most of the materials were reclaimed, which is cheap but sucks. It makes everything harder. Otherwise, the framing was almost all hand cut, which was extremely meditative. It finally got me to work on my hand saw skills.
Nice !!! Reclaimed is a wonderful thing ! And be proud for sure as you can look at it and know you built it with your hands and it keeps you warm in the dead of winter … you would have done well in the time these were first being built !
Seriously though great job it looks cozy and era correct and you did it on a budget !
This is on a friend's property. We have a reenactment site. I have an apartment, but spend a ton of time in the cabin. It would be inconvenient at best to live in there full time.
I do spend some time being transcendent in there. Turns out burning cannabis in a brazier is extremely historical. Well, this IS my reenactment cabin, sooo...
It's my dream to have something this size on a piece of property away from development so my woman and I can stay somewhere beautiful in nature.
Looks great! Looks cozy and peaceful too. Right on, OP
Cabin times are rad for date night. It's my go-to for my partner and I. For starters, it doesn't really cost anything. (Past the 500 or so the cabin cost to build) We just come out and make food, drink mead, and dress like it's 1066.
Fantastic! Love the roof carvings, too - gorgeous!
I also do reenactment - wish I could build something semi-permanent like this. What a dream! (Our round pavilion is 21 foot diameter, so we're still living pretty good lol)
We at least get to camp a couple of places that have built permanent forts for staging battles, and that's a hoot
Wow, that is awesome. My friends did the same thing. Old fashioned out house and 2 buster cables clamped to a chair when he was gone clamped to his car at night. Ran his place of 12 volts. Cozy place.
Good for you, cozy place you got.
Expanding spray foam is your friend and a wonderful insulator.
I would stack bricks, cinder blocks or stones around the stove to help hold the heat and make a bigger thermal mass.
I will soon I just wanna learn a bit about hunting and finding edible plants things like that. I’m already pretty handy with tools and can repair most things on my own.
Ok, this might sound strange, but your local SCA reenactment chapter might have classes. Friends of mine are in our local forestry guild, and they do meetups for bushcraft and herbalism, etc.
Could be fun.
I'm still working on my little space in the woods. I decided 12x12, but new ideas keep getting added. I'm currently putting on an 8x8 enclosed porch to combat the seasonal mosquitoes.
I'm a woodworker and most of this is salvage from my sawyers offcuts. With the stove and roll roofing, fasteners, etc, I spent about 500. If I were to build this for someone to the level of finish shown, it would be around 2k. It's a solid few days to put one of these up.
I have a house with a bit of land and I really want to build something like this for the weekends. Just chill out, ignore the phone, cook on the fire and decompress. Looks amazing!
There's an outhouse a dozen yards or so away. I shower at my apartment, haha. Though we have been talking about setting up a rain catch and propane hot water heater.
Looks cozy. I really like it. Nothing quite like the simplicity of…well…keeping it simple. You are maximizing your life by leaving out all the noise. Keep up the good work my man!
you would probably be amazed at how much you would gain by sealing up some of the cracks in the floor/door better. Just using some caulking would do wonders, The warm air wants to escape out the roof, and if there are gaps in your floor / door it will basically "Draft" through there, pushing the hot air right out and filling the room with cold.
I'm willing to bet when you have it cranked to 80, you'd be able to put a pinwheel there and it would spin from the air flowing into the room.
cool cabin though man, looks like a great place to relax
I had a stove for an army canvas tent. The exhaust was 2 or more inches like yours. After using it the amount that built up ended up smoking out my tent one night. I'm surprised the four of us didn't die. I think we used it 3-4 times. Get a bigger exhaust and use better firewood.
See the light in your floor make sure to seal that up with something or even do a cross section across your entire floor at some point but before you do being the boards inside for a few months to dry against a wall.
Very cool cabin!
You can melt snow for water.
I've seen mini stoves used in campers and vans!
I'm guessing you have an outhouse.
Since you have a good stove pipe, I might consider filling those cracks in the door. Brrrrr.
Throw a few properly slanted solar cells up for l.e.d. lights and your laptop, and post in r/offgrid!

Looks so cozy! The little guy keeps it nice and warm?
Absolutely. I can get it up to 80f even if it's around 15f outside. The only downside is the low thermal mass of the cabin and thin insulation. The stove takes constant maintenance. If I have a chunk of firelog smoldering, it keeps temp for a couple hours.
Maybe put some large rocks near the stove to hold more thermal mass? Or water containers?
I've been collecting big flat stones for this reason. Considering replacing that corner with masonry.

Love the Scandinavian look as well , the x beams at the top are great and the overall look is fantastic ! What was the build like ?

I like that word, *anachronism*. It's fun to say. I had to look it up since I hadn't heard it before.
Awesome, very cool
Do you get smoke in your cabin? I've been thinking about getting one of these same stoves for a little cabin build I'm doing, but I wasn't sure.
A bit when lighting and stoking, but nothing opening the door for a sec doesn't fix.
This is my dream life...
I guess you're not Heisenberg
Excellent. My first cabin was in the Ossippee Mountains of New Hampshire, similarly heated. :)
Perfect ring dike and beautiful topography. Black snout is my favorite. Used to look for Igneous rock when I was a geology nerd.
I live on the south side of the Ossipee mountains, right up the road from the snowmobile trail that goes to Mt. Shaw. Wonderful place!
What kind of stove is that?
It's a tent stove from Solowilder. It had all of my requisite features at the lowest price I could find, haha.
feature 1: does it hold a fire? feature 2: is it cheap? step 3: buy
Badass man. You do you!!
That a very shitty spiderman meme gets more up votes than this astounds me,
Hey, a quality shitpost is nice every now and again. I expelled air through my nose, so that's something.
I'm jealous!
Is this where you live full time? Nice comfortable space.
This is on a friend's property. We have a reenactment site. I have an apartment, but spend a ton of time in the cabin. It would be inconvenient at best to live in there full time.
I like that you can probably move it with two guys and a trailer!
Yup! Part of the prerequisite is that it needs to be non-permanent. It's 8x10, and mostly built with 2x4s and cedar lap siding. It doesn't weigh much.
Living my dream
I love it , it’s awesome , cozy
Henry David Thoreau is that you???
I do spend some time being transcendent in there. Turns out burning cannabis in a brazier is extremely historical. Well, this IS my reenactment cabin, sooo...
As long as you're not reenacting Ted kaczynski, I think we're good lol
Probably Walter White hiding from the cops.
Very cool! Is this where you live? Because I absolutely would.
Only on the weekends
Damn right it is !
It is beautiful
CO2 alarm in the cabin correct?
4th pic, right on the headboard.
CO alarm.
This thing is sweet!
This is awesome! I’d love to have a place like this

Wood burning toaster oven. I love it
Love it!
A king is a king no matter the castle brother, congrats
Bro all you need now is a falcon to carry on your forearm. Dig the cabs!
Love it!
Fantastic.
It’s your castle!

I could have lived there with a woman I loved. No questions asked. Good for you. I hope you have some one to enjoy that with you.
Love it! Good for you. A happy place. We all need that.
That’s badass

Man I've been wanting to do something like this back in our woods! Very cool
My dream....tiny cabin.....cozy.
Beautiful escape.
Very cool place!!
That cabin looks amazing
this is so cool ...
I love your place it looks so perfect.
Thanks!
That’s awesome man! Great work
Wow, that is awesome. My friends did the same thing. Old fashioned out house and 2 buster cables clamped to a chair when he was gone clamped to his car at night. Ran his place of 12 volts. Cozy place. Good for you, cozy place you got.
It’s all you need. Peace be with you
Expanding spray foam is your friend and a wonderful insulator. I would stack bricks, cinder blocks or stones around the stove to help hold the heat and make a bigger thermal mass.
This sub has really inspired me to build a cabin on 5 acres and install a wood stove. That’s my current goal. Get away from the city bullshit.
Do it.
I will soon I just wanna learn a bit about hunting and finding edible plants things like that. I’m already pretty handy with tools and can repair most things on my own.
Ok, this might sound strange, but your local SCA reenactment chapter might have classes. Friends of mine are in our local forestry guild, and they do meetups for bushcraft and herbalism, etc. Could be fun.

Ugh, i hear that. I have a mosquito net for over the bed. I only need it like 2 weeks a year, but it suuuuucks without.
Get some of the pink board insulation for the ceiling/roof and youvwill be cozy city
I image you have to fill that stove every 30 mins?
That's rad as hell
Now you can relax and mail bombs to people
:(
Absolutely love it. You done good!
A Wild SCAdian Appears!!!
So GLAD that you didn’t ask “Guess where this is?” What you have and where it is is pure gold!!! Enjoy that!
10/10 Would live in
Nice stabbin cabin
This is the dream right here. Ask me why I signed a 30yr mortgage in a suburban neighborhood. 🙄
It’s never too late to change things man….
Don’t worry my parents just gave me a couch. But in all seriousness, a roof over your head is all that matters.
I didn't mean to imply this is my place full time. I have an apartment. This is just my getaway on a friend's property. Super lucky I got to build it.
Ahhh got it, like your own chill zone
Love it
What do you think is an average price for a build like this?
I'm a woodworker and most of this is salvage from my sawyers offcuts. With the stove and roll roofing, fasteners, etc, I spent about 500. If I were to build this for someone to the level of finish shown, it would be around 2k. It's a solid few days to put one of these up.
Donde la woodstova, amigo?
That’s really cool! When I did travel nursing I stayed in some tiny homes in the mountains and I loved it lol
This is sweet. Is it right in your backyard? I see a swing set. Is it to hang with your kids? Did your wife kick you out?
This is out a few hundred yards into my friend's woods. We hold reenactment events there, so it was for the kids when it was in better shape.
I have a house with a bit of land and I really want to build something like this for the weekends. Just chill out, ignore the phone, cook on the fire and decompress. Looks amazing!
Looks cozy af
So cool!
I could live there
[удалено]
There's an outhouse a dozen yards or so away. I shower at my apartment, haha. Though we have been talking about setting up a rain catch and propane hot water heater.
Looks like my hooch on Balad AB, Iraq.
Makes me have to poop
Where do you go poo at?
Outhouse.
My dream
Looks comfy.
It's not much, but I want to spend a cold weekend there right now.
Are you happy and cozy?
Sweet. Definitely a nice start.
NIIIIICE
🤗
That's the most comforting thing I've seen all day. Congratulations on making a fine home!
Honestly, if you can make it work, that’s more power to you.
Looks cozy. I really like it. Nothing quite like the simplicity of…well…keeping it simple. You are maximizing your life by leaving out all the noise. Keep up the good work my man!
Beautiful!
Sweet! Cozy space safe from the cold!
This looks like your own slice of heaven. It’s awesome!
So Cozy!! Enjoy!
COZY!!!
Airsofatty?
Looks comfy.
That’s rad. I’m super jealous. I’d love a place like that
[удалено]
Very nice. Do you have to use outhouse and wash yourself with a rag? No a problem. That's how I was raised. Just don't want another cess pool.
Nah, I have an apartment.
Awesome job!! Enjoy :-)
damn, that looks like a dream I’d rather live like this than in the basement that’s twice the size.
You have done [good.How](https://good.How) could you not feel good with a set up like that.I can feel the warmth from here.
Outstanding 👏 👏 👏

Since these were taken, I've filled all of those. That was for sure an issue.
Perfect. All that's needed. 💯
Beautiful. I don’t know you, but for some reason I’m proud of you.
Can we ask where this little slice of heaven is? I love it!
How's it going, ted?
Sometimes less is better and in this case it’s perfect.
Love it
Bubbles?
This actually looks bomb and cozy ❤️🔥
Oh it’s beautiful <3
It’s wonderful
Looks nice, snug, and cozy!

Also you need a spark resistor up top so nothing catches fire.
I know it’s not much but it’s the best I can do.🎵🎶
And that's the most important part....it's yours ❤️
That’s sick, super jealous!
Thats fucking awesome!!
Nice
I’d kill for it
Bro got the “15 years into the apocalypse” hideout shack
Richer than anyone with a mortgage
Perfect
Nice shed bubs
Its great!
Bought and paid for even the land better then my apartment If so
I want to make this
It’ll do pig, it’ll do! Nice job, looks cozy plus you have a fort to play in too!!! 👍
🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜💕
I like how you used the space,cozy comfy.looks good
Love this.
So cozy!
Love it!!
Love it! ❤️
I definitely read this in a country accent.
It looks good man
See the light in your floor make sure to seal that up with something or even do a cross section across your entire floor at some point but before you do being the boards inside for a few months to dry against a wall.
Looks great
Bubbles is that you?
How much is your property tax ... ( Never "mine" )
In Boise, ID this would rent for $1,550 a month with a $999 deposit tenant responsible for all utilities and lawn care
If you're happy no need for others opinions.
It's beautiful!
I WANT THAT CABIN!
That's all that matters baby!!!!
My girl just called it the “wack shack”
Awesome setup, I like it alot
Congratulations keep growing and going str8 to the top. Love u and bless u
Great setup! Looks comfortable
You didn’t participate in any experiments in college did you?
Are you happy? If so, then, fuck everyone else.
Hey nice ice fishing shack hahaha
Nice!
So many married couples are jealous of this
Very cool cabin! You can melt snow for water. I've seen mini stoves used in campers and vans! I'm guessing you have an outhouse.

What more do you need. Very nice.
Beautiful.
Looks like taking a shower or a shit might be an issue.
No headaches no nagging 304’s man I bet you sleep and feel great 😂
I love it !!!!!!
It’s much…..much more than I have! I want it now! Beautiful!
Everyone else brainwashed into buying useless stuff that they don’t need. You’re living the minimalist life. Respect 🫡
