Our second winter in a tent is just around the corner. Our renovation project is moving along nicely but we’re still not in a position to move into the house ahead of the cold weather – and that’s kind of a good thing because the house has no heating, lights or electricity!
Join us for a quick Q&A and discover more ways than one that should keep us toasty warm this winter.
I made Cowboy candy for the first time this year with jalapenos. OOOOOO Hot Hot Hot! I left the seeds in. I think I will serve it with a cracker with cream cheese and the jalapeno on top as an appetizer.
When you will go to burn wood to warm yourself, mix the woods, because pine and eucalyptus do not heat up very much.
Puree it and add 2 soups.
Guys, I really wish it would be possible for you not to rely on gas in heatting (easpesialyin this gas situation). It's my goal, when I have my house – to heat it with renuvables.
You can use pine cones for firs starters
€110 for a truckload of wood is a really good price. Where I live wood cost approx. €100 per cubic meter.
You could build a small brick wall to run the flute through that will support the flute, secure the tent and stop creatures coming in.
To eat the cowboy candy it’s best eaten with cream cheese on crackers
You have incredibly interesting content and I can't wait to see the house done.
Most people put some cream cheese or goat cheese on a cracker or toasted piece of bread then put a slice of Cowboy Candy on that.
Question: How is the relationship with your neighbours?
What was the big clue, to keeping you warm in winter?
wow great price, i just paid £180 for 2 cubic meters in Hungary!
I was laughing with you Kiley when he said try it with ice cream!🤣🤣
From everything I’m reading about the EU, keeping warm this winter is going to be quite the challenge. I’m glad you guys are set up!
I just love when you guys do a taste test of something you've made. Each of you has your own way of explaining how it is, lovely vlog guys!
sweet heat is really nice with cheese and crackers
🌟👏👍🍀💐
Instead of the electric blanket, try using a pure down quilt. The down will keep you amazingly warm and you don't have to worry if your solar panels are charged up!
We have used a small kerosene stove. We put it in the basement and it heated the first floor as well. We did not have a problem with any fumes. We kept the wick clean. On the top we place a pan or teapot of water and the steam circulated the heat evenly. I don't know if kerosene is readily available in Portugal. I enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing with us.
That pepper candy sounds nice. I absolutely love pepper jam with goat cheese and crackers.
How will you keep warm this winter…….hhhmmmm…….all options you've presented to us are, at least "problem solving options" and costly as well, but I would say, the one, the most pleasant, as well as comfortable would be……give a hug to each other…….no expences and very much pleasurable. Tom Jones sung in one of his songs, long time ago, and said "The best things in life are free"…….aren't they? Wising you warm, sunny and nice winter guys.
Generally, the collective advice is not to use pine for woodburners because of the tar it deposits in the flue or chimney. Of course, you may have a different experience. Again, generally, it is preferable to use hardwoods such as oak, beech, hornbeam, chestnut or whatever is available in your neck of the woods. These woods burn hotter and longer so you will use fewer logs. Hope this helps.
Oh, by the way, at the start of your video you said about keeping warm this winter that there was quite a big clue behind you , pointing right at Kylie !! My advice is if you want her to carry on keeping you warm take more care in using words like 'big' when pointing in her direction !🙂
Have you guys considered wood pellets for heating?
Put it on pizza
