Xringer, re: the draft in the chimmney? I thought of having the chimmney turn down to vertical so it exits the boiler house at the ground. Then i could take all the heat i am able to, and now and then, sweep out the soot from the flue. Sounds good in (my) theory but i'm open to suggestions. I'm all for taking as much energy as possible at the expense of a little work now and then. Anyway, as my dad used to say, "if you were working, you wouldn't be cold would you?"
