Can you explain a little about your wool insulated feed tube....did you wire the pieces to the brick before cobbing?  Or use hardware cloth over wool before cob? I



True that rico.

I didn't do anything. I considered options and than in haste I just cobbed it in place. Was somewhat floppy, until I got to the top.

SO I finally got the stove up and running. Its been working flawlessly. First start it drafted with no issues. I quite simply haven't had any issues so far. Its just been pleasant to use. Bricks were 49*F first day of lighting.

I capped it with superwool. There is about 5+ inches from the top of the riser ----> to the underside of the super wool. Than I placed cement board on top with bricks around the edges

Ya I don't have much more to say. Its been easy to use and its nice hearing the fire roar. Its almost like having a fireplace in your house. Zero smoke back!

The most time consuming part was the brick laying..

I still need to make a p channel for the stove.
