You tell me.

I try not to be judgmental to my fellow human beings. I did how ever come across this video recently and have a serious question about it that needs an immediate answer.

Now, if you took the time to watch the whole video you as well as I realize that heating and cooking with wood is a lot of work and is in most cases, can create a mess in the yard and in the house. All that being said, what I really want to know is this. Just how long do you need to heat up a pile of rocks on a cook stove till they is etable? I mean, is it an hour fer soup and 2 hours for cuttin up and makin a sammich with or what?

 

Must take up so much time there's no time left to comb your hair.

 

Wasn't she in Mad Max?

 

If she isn't, she missed the casting call!!

 

uhhhgggg

 

She don't know what a broom or swiffer is for? I'll admit my hearth pad area gets a bit cruddy but it doesn't stay like that forever lol

 

No chit. Wunder what her cooter looks and smells like? OOPPPS. So sorry, didnt mean to type that.

Long lost gal friend to Master Blaster?
But, about the rocks? Mulligan stew?

 

I didn't/couldn't watch the whole vid.
The dreads (dreds?) threw me off.

 

I agree, it is messy. But that is why you keep a dustpan and broom nearby, use a carrier to bring the wood in, and be gentle when scooping ashes...and what the heck are the bricks and rocks for, again???

 

I think you get the stones hot and put them in your bed?

 

Thermal mass

 

Okay, makes sense! Since she did say it was off-grid, she wouldn't be using a conventional fan.

 

Sounds like her little homesteading experiment isn't as easy and fun as it she thought it would be.
That's 1.5 minutes of my life I'd like to have back

 

I watched another video of hers and she's seems like a really nice person. I think she would fit in well here.

 

Yes--we could show her how to embrace her ashes!!
I don't claim to know everything there is about wood burning, either.
Which beggars the question I have been wondering about for a while...I have seen several pictures of wood cookstoves, and none of them seem to have much of a hearth mat under then...anyone know why? I would think it would be the same as with any stove.

 

All I can say is WOW!

 

Off the grid?!?
With her cell phone selfie videos ?!?

And she spends the whole time complaining about wood stoves being dirty while the rest of the house looked like a complete wreck

 

I think we are being a little mean here, I thought we were better than that?

 

Maybe it's the beginnings of stone soup?
