This Could Start a Fire… So I’m Fixing It Now

In this video, I do a mid-season chimney inspection and cleaning on our tiny home wood stove to prevent creosote buildup and reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Even with dry firewood, our highly efficient off-grid tiny home burns low and slow, which can still cause creosote — especially with an exterior chimney in cold climates. I also cover frozen vent stacks, roof ice buildup, wood stove maintenance tips, safe ash handling, and how little firewood we’ve used this winter. This is real-world wood stove and homestead maintenance, not a perfect install — just honest experience living off-grid in extreme cold.
