OK GUYS,
I could use a little help with my new stove not drawing so well. It is in my green house, I have about 30' of horizontal 8" exhaust pipe running through my planting beds, My heat riser is 8" with about 4.75" of vermiculite and clay all the way around it and it is 34" high. The drum on top has approx 2" of gap on top and on the sides. The burn tunnel is 4" x 6.75".
I can get it to draw, but it is very weak. My main question is: Can I expect it to draw/rocket better if I add about 7" to my heat riser? (if all else is OK)
I also would like to know if just straight vermiculite would be the best insulation for the heat riser in future builds? (light and airy??)
Thanks,
Dan O
