HELP!! I've finally put my Yurt up and now I'm having lots of problems with my RMH. I'm suppose to be moving in today or tomorrow (already gave notice to my landlord) but I can't even get the temp inside slightly above freezing, and it's suppose to be going down to -25 C in the next few day! The stove goes between burning just OK to back burning and pouring smoke back into the place. I really need to talk to someone about this ASAP!!! I'll be losing my internet connection in a few days. If Donkey or one of you other guys with lots of experience is willing to talk to me, e-mail me at mladda@hotmail.com with a way to reach you via phone. Because I really need to discuss what is going on and how I might fix it. Thanks

Hey, The surest way to make sure the stove will draw is to install a vertical steel chimney at the exhaust. It will heat up quickly and should provide a huge boost to the airflow. If the smoke path is excessively long, I would suggest making it shorter to allow some heat to escape, ensuring sufficient chimney temperatures. Better to sacrifice a little heat out the chimney than to have an unreliable heater.

Yigenuren.. I PMed you a while ago with my contact info, so far no reply. Hopefully you got it fixed.
Sometimes when a stove "pulses" it indicates a partial blockage somewhere down the line. ??
