Here is the stove I use: https://www.woodstove.com/ideal-steel-hybrid-wood-stove I do have a ceiling fan which does help. I only turn it on periodically.

Check the install data on the plate attached to your stove. If there isn't one look up your model online. A 90 degree cleanout ell two feet outside the yurt is standard. Make ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN...
