Jafo liked post by UKadventurer On thread : New, modern yurt build in Mongolia

After a couple of years of living at our camp, it occurred to me that we need a better solution for outdoor life. Yeah, I think slow. I mean a real covered patio not just some chairs and a table...

Sounds intriguing. Well, we're not going anywhere so next year is still a decent time frame.

TSRalex liked post by UKadventurer On thread : Dome shade solution

That's a great idea. I know this is an old post but it's still relevant, especially in Summer. We're in Mongolia so we're not as hot but it can reach 30+ C from solar gain on a sunny summer day. ...

Thanks for verifying the cost question. I did a bit more research and the basic ger from Narantuul "black" market (where most people buy their gers) costs only about $1200 for the 5-wall. This is...

It's quite interesting to post about our 'gers' (yurts) and I do post answers on Quora quite often about life the gers and countryside in Mongolia. Usually very few people read or comment on my...

Looks great. I really like the look of your stove. I'm just guessing (haha) that Portugal is a bit warmer than Mongolia in winter. We had a cold December but warmer than usual January. We can...

Luckily, as an early retiree, I have time to figure it out, improve, learn etc. Each mistake I make, I learn what NOT to do next time. One thing I've learned is you can't rely on one system of...

How's your winter going? I was enjoying my winter, even modifying my electric dirt bikes to work on snow and ice with ice screws. Lots of fun. 1618 Then disaster struck. The local power...

Jafo liked post by UKadventurer On thread : Is it hard to keep a 30ft yurt warm in winter?

I must say of all our heat sources, our wood stoves are my favourite. The caveat, like beautiful women, is they need a lot of attention. I love their ambience. It’s somehow fundamental to the...

I'm happy to help. If you have a source of "free" wood that could be a huge advantage. We have a massive forest next to us but frankly I'm too lazy to collect it, cut store and season the fallen...

Welcome! I'm a British expat now living in the mountains outside Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. We have a small tourist camp where we live year round. Perhaps I can offer some of my own experiences through 2...

A bit late to the party but this is how our wood stoves are installed. What is not visible is cement board with a hole cut through it for the double walled pipe. It's probably a belt and braces...

Well, they always say YMMV. I was just going by what the "Embers Living" YouTube channel says. They are a retail BBQ and fireplace store in Denver, Colorado. From my impression, they sell all...
