Damper lever idea is perfect!

Thats sweet bud! The damper reminds me of an intake on a carburetor! Patrick

I got the chimney put up.  It's pretty redneck looking but it works.  I still need to put a short section on top to get it above the roof line.  I couldn't find a rain cap the right size so I made one.  Next year I want to find a better way to support the chimney.  I think I'm about an hours worth of work away from being done.  I took a break for some lunch and football.

I put the top section and the rain cap on the chimney.  That was a little sketchy standing on the top of my ladder.  None of my helpers were home today. 




I broke up a couple of fire bricks to line the bottom of the stove. 




I connected the stove to the chimney and did a final check of everything.  I put the concrete board behind it as a heat shield.  I added a piece of aluminum flashing behind the chimney to reflect the heat away from the wall. 




I put some osage shavings in it and lit them.  I had a crackling fire in no time.  It put off a lot of heat and had my workshop toasty warm in no time.  Once I got a good bed of coals I just tossed in a small chunk of wood in every now and then to keep it going.  I'm excited to have free heat for the winter.  I want to get some fire rope to put around the chimney where it goes out the window.

This has been a really fun project to watch.  It is great to see it completed.  Very nice job and thanks for taking time to post pics and keeping us entertained.  There is nothing like wood heat in a shop.

Very nice Clint! And it looks good too! You definitely took the time to do it right.
II might have set it on some blocks and just took the flu straight out the window with an elbow. Then tell everyone that I was going to make it like yours one day.  Good job on the project.
