Chimney insulated from the top till the bottom. I saw you had insulated the internal part of the chimney in the stove very well. But on teh photo taken from from outside of the workshop I can see a metal uninsulated pipe. am I wrong? EDIT: I wa wrong. I thought it was the smoky chimney protruding from the wall. Only later I spotted the proper chimey without smoke. ! congrats |

Looking very good Hof, congrats!
Good draw from the start means calculation and detailing is done right. Fighting a recalcitrant heater is very frustating, starting up right away every time without a hitch is real value for money.

that,s interesting as the chimney is not that tall Almost 6 meters high. I edited my former post my post to state where I got mistaken (so as not to crate next post ) . I say I did not spot your chimney. I thought it was the smoky one protruding from the wall next to your workshop :-). |

 40% load. Temp was 65 deg. while burning. Is it ok? Not too big? |

40% load. Temp was 65 deg. while burning. Is it ok? Not too big? I regard 60ºC as a minimum provided it's reached within 20 minutes, started from cold. Failing that, there's a real risk a chimney stall is on its way. So what you saw isn't much, 150ºC would be. In a well-built mass heater with a batchrocket core something between 80 and 120ºC is very good. That said, my own heater tend to bring 140 ºC on the chimney stack, started still very warm and fully loaded with dry hardwood. In that type of case I'll reduce the air inlet somewhat while the heater is running and stack temperature is rising above 110 ºC. |

Has this wood piece been burned off or taken away?
Are you going to use some wool between the door frame and surrounding it bricks?

It is not a wood. It is unknown heat resistant material. Used by mistake.
