Martin gave me the address of the place he got his chimney jack from, thought it might be helpful to pass on :) Heres the stove jack page, they also sell the fabric seperately... theres a fleabay store too here :) It is a USA firm, he also recommends checking the size you buy carefully, some are slightly shaped for tipi tents.

Thanks for the update Chris, good to know the stuff from Cromwells does what I want it to after being burned through and sat for a year. Great links there Sal, all part of the plan as well. Cheers!

Wow, thats MOST excellent! Wonder what the fireproof plexiglass is, mica would be much too fragile :rolleyes: Theres a shorter vid of the same stove being put together here :)

It's a great chimney solution too, much easier to make an efficient stove kettle adaption too I should think :)

Chad, will yours be making an appearance at Northwood? Show n Tell, please ;)

Great work there Chad a really nice stove.

That's just awesome! Would provide a very welcome glow in a laavu or tipi...

Stove glass, Im thinking about it, just depends on weight and thickness.
Would be lovely in the tent and negate the need of gas lamp!

That's a really cool stove, the window on the side is great as everyone knows the best part of fire is seeing the flames :)

I wouldn't have thought the window in the side was polymer, the best high temperature thermoset polymers only go up to about 400C. It'll have to be some sort of glass, probably a borosilicate like Pyrex etc. which are pretty tough :)

How about windows on three sides!!

That's a great offer, cheers Soloman! As this is a pack down small stove I won't be after such posh functions. I was a custom fabricator in the past and have access to a shop but thanks again for such an offer. When I relocate oneday and have a permanent burner in the workshop I'll be after such finery...

Works a treat. Got my flue from TiGoat in the end. Had to wait over 6 weeks but it was worth it the minute I fired it up.





This set up keeps the wind out and retains heat quite nicely. Now I know I can trust it I'll have the stove a bit further in to the set up. Time to start MKII I guess...
