I have a split level in the yurt, and the fire was lower than the chimney level, but not the chimney outlet, so it had to go up to the outlet of the stove then down about a foot. It did it ok as I mentioned when the pipe was uncovered. I guess it did not take long for the pipe to get warm, but when I covered it with sand, I guess there was a lot more to heat, and it couldn't do it. The pipe was underground for about 9 feet, and then it went up into the air about 20 feet. > The other issue is > accessiblity for cleaning.

I have been looking for information about this. I heard that a certain size of nesting box also encourages them. But I dont have the specifics. Any idea where I can get detailed information? Thanks for the tips. YS Samba das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
