Thanks, perhaps I should look into installing one.

Looking great, Martyn. Have you ever tried a draft regulator? I find they really help in that kind of weather. That or a Wind Directional Chimney Cap. I really like mine, spins with the wind like a weather vane so the wind always draws over the top of the chimney creating a slight venturi effect. Of course, I live in one of the lowest wind areas in the usa, so results may vary.

That thick sheet steel top with expansion piece over the riser is smart, durable and overall a great solution Martyn. I well remember my kettle always doing a bunny-hop as the barrel end dished out with a bang as it came up to temperature, back in the early J-tube days....

I have noticed an interesting fact that occurs with the stove. It seems that the highest temperature I can record on top of the barrel, directly above the riser happens within the first 10 minutes of lighting. This is around 550c (or just turning red hot) but by 20 minutes and there after, it operates around 375-400c and I cant seem to get it to go any higher. This is not actually a problem for me but why does this happen? I assume it has something to do with the air feed temperature restricting the air once the stoves gets really hot?
