Progress was slow the last few weeks but I got a good burnout done and the chamber sandblasted. I also got the hinges and firewool delivered along with a nice Thermometer. Photos attached. I lightly coated the inside with high heat paint to stop it from rusting in the meantime. This week I...
Thanks for the advise Dave and RG. Not insulating the door and bottom will save me a bit of time and $$. As I'm in a cold climate ( VT) the double vent pipe will definitely help with condensate.
