My chimney is exactly 18 ft from the thimble and is in good shape yet I cannot trust it to maintain a good draft all the time.Hopefully being yours is all new you have better luck but I came home from work several times to the CO alarms going off even though I had good draft for many days before.I want to see what happens once it gets good and cold.I am going to add four more feet in the spring.

Great job Freddy! I'll be in Bangor next month. I may look you up. My son and I will need something to do while the wife is Christmas shopping. I'd love to get a good look at that coal stockpile you got there. Can I bring 2 buckets? :D :lol:

Bob, You're making the yearly trip South? Stop by! PM me for directions sometime. I'm about 5 miles from Bangor.

I'll find out soon enough if 16' is high enough. The Axeman is different than most boilers. I should be OK.
