The Yurt Chimney

[bss]

We stayed very warm with the install of the Earth Stove t150C stove we installed. Burned all night for two nights for us. Temps well into the 30's outside and held a very comfortable 66 on a nice big fir log and a good madrone one to go the distance too.

This was replacing a Dovre NT400 which had been run on propane. Nice working stove, but I just like burning wood.

It took me a while to work up the sheetmetal for the inside flue part, and ended up having to cut my own adapter for the collar to flue pipe anyways. I put up 9' of metalbestos and will probably go up another two feet just for giggles.

Thus, I decided not to pour concrete until I had 100% decided on how tall I wanted the support pole to be. So I instead kind of rebuilt and re-guy wired the existing pole, which would probably last at least another five years. I'll play with the stack height and see where I'm getting the right draw, esp. when it's real cold out.
