Turn on the Subtitles for the background Story!    / @housebythestream   We brought the old wood stove back to life by cleaning it and checking the chimney before lighting a fire. Our Passion: Italian Mountains, Old-world crafts and Fire-cooked foods. Living like a 100 years ago. About This Video: For the first time, when we walked up the steep road, coming out of the forest to this opening, I saw the house with the view, somehow, I knew, this is ours, even before we bought it. After everything was signed and paid for, I was asking for the keys to the house. He laughed and told me, that i can just go up to the house, the door is wide open and the key is in the old stove. The previous owners grandfather, used to live in this house, but 30 years ago they moved out and left everything like it was, including the door wide open. It seems that since then some people, probably shepherds, would stay for a while in the house and light fire in the stove, to warm up. Right now, we are spending a couple of weeks in the house and it was getting quite cold outside too. I have never seen a stove before, for cooking and heating at the same time and now we have two of them. Wondering actually, why there are two stoves, made us think that one of them is probably broken and they got a new one to replace it. So we were not sure if this would work, but we wanted to try. A friend gave us advice to unhook the tubes and check in the chimney with a mirror. If we could see the sky, he said, there should be no problem. After doing that, we realized that we need to be cautious with lighting the fire by starting with a small one first, otherwise the cold chimney could crack. Everything went well and I was never so happy about seeing smoke coming out of a chimney. So now we can use the stove and start cooking on it. We are planning to make pizza in the oven and maybe fries some chicken. About House by the Stream: We are Grace & Martin, we bought this house in the Italian Alps. There is no electricity, but we have water from our stream. We like to try, to live like a 100 years ago, cooking and building things from scratch. We want to live in the forest and built everything we need, from the materials we find around us. Our goal is to learn how things are made, discover forgotten ways and see how we can get by, buying as little as possible. We both love to cook, so we decided to try old recipes and making things from scratch, quite often it’s our first time making these dishes. Also, we are trying to combine foods from our cultural backgrounds and learn from each other.
