    It's been a good ride here on the yurt forum, but all things pass. The cover on my yurt is shot and I have no interest in replacing it at this time. Maybe in the future. I am dismantling my yurt and...

    I'll assume the equipment is very expensive. I wouldn't put expensive sensitive electronics in my yurt. It is a tent. JMO

    Sorry, I didn't read the entire thread. 18,000 BTU way too small for a 20' yurt in a cold damp climate. My 1.6 Cu ft stove is rated at 27,000 btus and it is too small for my 16'er. 42,500 seems...
