Re: Wood Stove Rear Flue Exit?
Hey blueridge. We used the rear exit of our waterford cookstove and went straight out the side wall about 3 feet above the yurt floor. We did not slip the metal flashing up under the yurt valence. However we cut flashing such that all the edges tended to land on a piece of lathe for secure connection with roofing screws. With the flexible steel flashing the connection was very tight and sealed very well to the yurt fabric. We also put in a layer of silicone just to be safe. That worked for us for 20 years with no leaks.
In our latest incarnation, I cut out a square piece of yurt fabric (from a new window we installed) a few inches bigger than the flashing. Cut a hole in the square for the stove pipe to pass through and used 3M adhesive to glue this 'patch' to the yurt sidewall and flashing. It is very water proof and looks much nicer than flashing alone. LMK if you want a pic. Hopefully I am making sense. Need coffee!
