Crown shutting

[Bob Rowlands]

Speaking of ozans, I draped a canvas tarp over and around my sleeping cot inside my yurt. It does keep that area warmer.

In the winter my yurts roof ring is covered with a sheet metal 'china cap' that centers over the roof ring. The stove pipe pokes up through the center of the cap. The heat stays in and the weather stays out. Made it for $5.

I't's likely that centuries ago yurts probably had a cloth or hide covering the smoke hole just as many do today. Mongolians have this yurt stuff all figured out.
