Well with this new info i may need to rethink my heating options. When i finish my yurt it will be completly open without the center braces. I live in tennessee, so our winters are rather mild. Im not certain how well it will be insulated. Depends on funds. It is going to be a 16 foot yurt, so rather small. I just really love the idea of the rmh. But i will keep researching. Good luck with the drying. Yi look forward to seeing the ppictures!
