    Digressing a bit. I live in a semi arid climate. The wood I cut and burn from around here is ponderosa pine and scrub oak. If the trees were green/alive when cut, it takes a full year for them to...

    Never had multiple 90s in a stack. Never would either. So I can't address that specific problem from experience. As has been mentioned, it's a good plan to try and use dry firewood, that is aged...

    That said, my first 14' yurt was unanchored. That was a HUGE mistake. It was destroyed in a heavy blizzard. Eight full days work destroyed in an instant. So, anchor your yurt in high wind location.

    My yurts were a single area only, no bathroom. As for wind, yurts are 'the' most wind resistant tents by a long margin. All the exterior surfaces are curved and backed by wall lattice and rafters....

    Walls on my yurts were about 5'4". I am 5'9". I had no problem with clearance walking around inside at the wall. For windows and a door you don't need to duck to enter you'll need a taller wall. ...

    Good thinking Jafo. I agree the wall can't breathe covered with poly. I'd remove the poly and install mesh between the insulation and the cover. The slight air gap created just might allow moisture...
