Dirty word, dirty word. My stove is about 3 inches higher that the chimney pipe.
Uh oh!Dirty word, dirty word. My stove is about 3 inches higher that the chimney pipe.
The only way that I could use a water hose here in winter is if I kept it inside to keep from freezing. Once the snow builds up to 4-6 feet it really isn't much of a drop off the roof anyway.I'm afraid of heights so I would have to shoot the water hose up the chimney or just let the thing burn.
Don't you have a section of adjustable stove pipe in your chimny? Can you cut the bottom of the pipe off to fit?Dirty word, dirty word. My stove is about 3 inches higher that the chimney pipe.

On my cast iron stove it came with out a door gasket. So I bought a piece of bulk gasket material (looks rope) and some high temp glue. I cut it to fit the inside of the door and glued it in place. Now the door fits tighter, is better sealed, will produce more heat and it slows down the burn somewhat.
I think so. Mine is kind of silver colored and is braided. I just opened the door and looked.Would that be the silver braid type rope?
Both of my chimney's have a section of adjustable pipe. This pipe will slide up and down in order to match the height of your wood stove. Once it's attached to your stove you can put in a couple self driving sheet metal screws to hold it in place.We are going to try some alterations today. I'm going to go buy some different shaped pipes.
I checked internet last night when it states that a slight downward slope can work since i have the tall chimney which causes more draft.
I have 30 days to return. Since it's for emergencies , I'm leaning toward trying to make it work.
We're going to give it a trial run this afternoon after we get it together. My brother wants me to cut off the legs but They are so cute.

Take a look inside your stove. Is there a baffle that runs the full length of your stove and about an inch or so from the top? If so that's where that "wool" is supposed to go. Between the baffle and the inside top of your stove. Its supposed to reduce the emmissions from the wood smoke.ARCTIC, just to test it, I put in the KAO wool and placed fire bricks on top. We shall see. I hope I don't get some type of surprise fire inspection. I'm sure we broke many rules.

I put the gasket material around the inside of the door. My stove had a indent in the inside of the door. I don't know why a gasket didn't come with the stove.Nothing there. Oh well, most on the internet say its worthless any way. Maybe it will help hold heat or something. They said the same ifnthe fire bricks. I can always remove them later. I am definitely going to put the rope gasket around.
Arctic, did you put the gasket around the door or the opening? It seems that there is less chance of knocking it off if it is on the actual door not the opening.
Funny, both my sheet steel and the cast iron have fire bricks. Bottom and sides are completely covered about 2 inches thick.
I would think that anything between the fire and the chimney (wool) would just get full of soot, foul up like a filter and maybe even start burning if it gets overfilled. Chimney fires come only from not well burning oils from the wood if form of soot. The extra heat tries to get as much of the 180 different oils found in firewood to combust completely. The whole idea of a rocket stove. Extreme heat in the chimney draws better and burns the oils completely and only steam comes out the top.
