Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

It's a great stove, definitely not undersized.

Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

Sorry for the delay. We have had a rather warm El Nino winter here, but we did get up there once for a sub zero weekend. The stove performed pretty good, but no matter what I do, you can't get 8...

Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

The air intake is sealed with silicone, it is air tight. I have tried different configurations of small/large splits. I have adjusted the intake to different levels. If I fully fired up the...

Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

Well I have used it so far with temps as low as in the 20's. So far, I can only seem to get about 6 hours max out of it before I have to add more wood. I was really hoping for 8 hours. Yurts just...

Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

Just keep in mind that that IDEAL is 700+ pounds. The progress will be heavier. Not sure what kind of floor you have. Some people have weak floors, some don't.

Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

From what I understand, the progressive has a bit higher output. I think the Ideal Steel is perfect for my yurt, but I do not have any sectioned off rooms so I can't speak to that. I am thinking...

Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

Back at the yurt tonight.. Probably going to be too warm for a fire. 65 degrees out right now. Got the windows open (covers) and the place looks great. :)

Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

Thanks Bob. The way houses are built these days, the outside air kits are almost necessary because the homes are just so air tight. With a yurt, they are completely opposite so the OAK helps keep...

Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

Okay, I just got back from our weekend. The install went well. We had temps of 20 degrees F and 30 degrees F each night. The first night I set the damper rather high (50%) and I had to reload it...

Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

My brother and my sons went up to the yurt last night just to get the stove on the pad. My brother and I are going to get it installed and fired today.

Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

Today I trimmed off the excess cement board and then grout the tiles. My shop vac bit the dust, but otherwise, everything went pretty smooth. I think almond was the right choice on the grout. :)

Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

On the second day, I took the old wood stove out and began working on the hearth. This meant I would be "roughing it" that night because the temps were to get down to 28F. I still had other camp...

Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

Well, so much for the soapstone being hard to get out lol. Some fell out when we tipped it sideways, and I left two small fire bricks in there by accident. The one small brick actually broke. No...

Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

Now it is time to wheel it in there. First, we laid the hand truck on its wheels, and we tied it off to a stud in side, just in case it should come flying back for any reason. My one son pulled...

Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

Here are all the pieces and parts I took off. It had to lighten the load by over 100 pounds, but not sure exactly. Anything I could do to make it lighter, was done with the exception of taking out...

Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

Ok, well here are some pics. This is my truck after I had the stove put on it with a fork lift. It was a small one so couldn't get the stove all the way to the front of the bed.

Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

Well this stove is lined with soap stone and it was a bear to get in here. I took as much off of it as I could and it still weighed about 600 pounds. We got it inside and it is still sitting here,...

New Woodstove For The Yurt

Today I ordered an Idea Steel wood stove from the Woodstock Soapstone Company (http://woodstove.com/ideal-steel-hybrid) out of New Hampshire. I am going to use this to replace my old stove in the...
