Re: How's Your Yurt Handling The Cold?
on his stove? I'm talking about a vent for make-up air to replace the air the stove has sucked up the chimney with fresh air from outside. A woodstove can suck up anywhere from 10 to 50 CFM, so I figured I got roughly 1200 ft^3 (16' diameter, short walls) so in about 1-2 hours I'm creating a vacuum in the yurt. I open the door, and smoke flows inside. I always crack the door for about 10 seconds but still get smoke inside. Anywhere that air could filter in gets frozen shut by escaping. I'm getting a load of better wood next week, I think that'll fix the smoke issue, and I'll keep the intake (2x2 wedged between fabric/strap and platform) for now, probably until it gets mega-cold
