The Yurt Chimney

[Jafo]

This will take probably 3 weeks to get done, but I have begun the process of getting the wood stove installed at the yurt. Yesterday I purchased a 21 foot 2 inch steel galvanized pipe to use as the chimney support (with a cap). The ground is extremely rocky; imagine digging through a stone driveway. Chances are, I will only be able to get a foot or two down into the ground, if I am lucky. I figure using the pole I could create a large pad of concrete if necessary to make up for not being able to seat it deeper. My brother is coming up to visit me in a couple weeks and we are going to put it together then.

My wood stove has a 5" exhaust, so I bought a 6" to 5" reducer too. My plan is to use single walled stove pipe up to the wall, then use metalbestos insulated pipe to go through the wall and then steel pipe for the chimney.

I found some good info here:

Where someone did basically the same thing. I just wanted to get this thread started now because some people may have some suggestions that I might want to consider before breaking ground. I hope to take a lot of pics of the process!
