Best Stove Venting for a Mongolian Yurt

[rbfx]

Hey everyone!

We have a Mongolian yurt that has a centre crown, as you’d expect. The crown is divided into 8 segments; 7 glass windows and 1 filled with metal with a pre-cut hole for a stove chimney exit.

Our problem is that the crown can also be covered with the “hat”, which is a square piece of fabric that provides effective shade and rain protection, and is secured with ropes. However, once the chimney exits through the crown, we will be rendering the hat useless as it can no longer be pulled into/out of position.

We hoped someone might have some useful experience or advice?

Many thanks, in advance!

I think the cloth is for a yurt with no segmented

dome

. I would keep the cover off to the side for now. Get your insulated stovepipe up through the hole, and see what happens when it rains hard. If you have serious leaks deal with those with caulk and/or stove gasket, or a pipe jack. No way I would put any cloth against a single wall stove pipe. Good luck.

That's a beautiful yurt btw.

I have a Mongolian Yurt that I put the vent through the wall using triple insulated pipe with a through the wall vent kit and it works great.

We make a custom crown cover for Mongolian yurts made out of a translucent vinyl and canvas. A chimney can be passed through the canvas section and you still have the ability to pull back half of the cover on a sunny day. [email protected]
