Curious.. With a burnt-out expansion joint, what keeps the joint from leaking? It's in one of those NEGATIVE PRESSURE areas.. Put something smoking (incense or something) up to the joint and watch as it's drawn IN.

Put something smoking (incense or something) up to the joint and watch as it's drawn IN. Yes, but if maybe for unknown reason stalling occurs, there is no more negative pressure! At least the smoke was pouring from every gap in my test under the balcony (luckily not in the house :-))... Also, every unfuncitional gap does steal draft?

Also, every unfuncitional gap does steal draft? That's my thought, as well. I've noticed that everything past the heat riser is slightly pressurized for the first few minutes of burn (depending on how warm the bell is and how cold it is outside -- the colder outside the quicker the draft/vacuum is established). Without a good seal, a lot of smoke can escape for those few minutes. And after that, when on the "ragged edge" of sufficient draft I hate the idea of draft being "stolen" from the stove.

Yep.. All of the above.
Most often, that expansion joint doesn't leak at all, in either direction. But..
If and when it does, maybe some stove-rope or something similar can be stuffed in the cracks??

Me too, as I have started finishing my stove and have begun to seal up the mass and make improvements I notice it runs more and more reliable. It starts better in windy or warm weather and I find that I have to prime it less often when the stove gets cold. Should be even better when its all done...

What is the dryer for? nice work! never mind. I had grand ideas of dehydrating fruit and other farm related adventures. Living in an arid area totally spaced on the concept of wet wood.
