Yeah looks good partner. Some might say its still a little short in relation to the peak, but the only way to find out for sure is try it. You plan to burn anthracite? I would recommend a manometer be installed so you can see if the draft trends towards a failure or stays good. Warm weather burning maybe tough to keep draft.

Have not decided what I am gonna burn yet but I guess the whole point of doing this was to try some coal but being that I am surrounded by wood and have a really good supply I will prob be using both. This is also just a vaca home so I will not be there all the time. Usually only on weekends and holidays.

Update.

Here we are. The chilly weather has returned to the north east and I light my stove up for the 1st time since fixing the chimney and what a world of a difference!

Time to experiment with some coal as well.

Had another question for one of you guys with the Russos. I just noticed the little sliding doors on the ash compartment door. What are the purpose of these?

Have you looked in the Manual?
