What's going on guys! Welcome back to the channel. In today's video we'll do a full review of the Gstove
wood stove and a few of its basic uses and I'll show you around the campsite and show you where we are on our journey
So here's what the insides looking like.
That's where our shower/bathroom used to be and we went ahead and renovated it into a little wood stove area.
We still haven't finished up the paint on all the trim and everything,
But down in here, we've got our firewood storage and right now we've got a lot of flat pieces from Andrea's grandpa's barn.
Fit nicely in there and we'll use that for kindling since it's nice and dry.
And this is our G stove. We've been using this thing almost every single day now, and
Having it inside the camper is just I mean, it's keeping us real warm in here
We're loving it so far. So I'm gonna go ahead and show you some of its basic uses.
So the first time you actually see a G stove in person, one of the first things you'll notice is how sturdy it is.
I mean, these things can seriously take a beating if they need to.
We throw our huge cast-iron skillet on top and cook all the time,
and it really doesn't even dent ding or nothing.
So it's a really strong stove overall,
and in my opinion, I think the longer shaped wood stoves like these give a stronger pull for the intake as well.
And this is your intake here. It's just a simple design. You can change it open all the way,
it doesn't go 360, but you don't really need it to.
This is your latch to open up the door.
Another pretty simple design there but effective. It holds it nice and tight.
Can't really see up inside of there. Pretty much just a hollow chamber. It's got this grate that's removable underneath.
You can put that up on the rack if you'd like. I don't really use it too much. I kind of just keep it underneath.
Sometimes I'll lay wood up under there and dry it out.
But that's totally preference.
It's got these little notches on the inside that it sits on, and I guess the basic concept of it
Is that the whole area under here is always empty.
That way oxygen can always pass under the wood, but I've just learned to build a better fire without it. So I'm using it that way.
And up here are these two little
racks that it comes with. But, I had to take one of them off so that I could fit it in my
custom build around it.
But one's enough. It holds the tools while we're cooking.
And up here, you can throw a pretty large sized skillet.
I mean really depends on how wide you want to go but,
It's a pretty big face up here.
Just to give you a better idea. Here's a 10 inch pan.
So it fits, you know all the way to the back.
Touches where it needs to on that side, so it's actually pretty even for about a 10 inch pan.
I'd say probably stick with 10 inches at the max.
But we've also got like an iron skillet, nice and heavy. and I mean I'll even kind of drop it on there a little bit.
You can just kind of you can even kind of hear how sturdy this thing is.
Up in the back here is where the 1 gallon water tank that we got sits.
It's an additional thing that comes with the GStove. got to buy it separately, but we love it.
It holds a gallon of water and boils it while the fires going inside. And it's actually got a
little nozzle on the back.
So when you got boiling water in there and you want to make some tea or coffee just open up that nozzle and it
pours right in your cup. Makes it super easy.
And right above the water tank is where the damper is. and that one turns 360.
And that's really about it for the basic components of the G stove.
So I'm gonna go ahead and start a fire in here, and show you how it works.
This is just my little kindling bag.
I keep little cotton balls and twigs that I pick up around the campsite. That way, I've always got something dry to start a fire with
For the sake of time, I'm going to cheat today and use a torch.
I have another video on how to start a fire the hard way you'd like to check that out.
Once it starts getting real hot in there, I like to put out my wood stove fan on top.
Basically just angle it in the corner, it'll blow air all around and out kind of spread evenly around the living space.
Now that this has been burning for a while,
my hot water tank should be ready. Should be boiling some water in there.
Let me set this aside for a second. It's hard to do with one hand.
There we go.
All right, let's make some tea.
Once you're ready to put your fire out, just go ahead and close up the intake there.
It'll kill off any of the oxygen going into the embers.
And I like to use this little stainless steel bowl here.
It just catches the ashes. Open the door,
scoop them out into the bowl, and throw them out the camper door.
So I think that covers just about everything for this G stove review.
