Spring time

Well spring is here its been a long winter ,my fire lasted the haul .I have a few tweaks to do ,which i will do shortly .The exhaust to the chimney has too much water jacket so runs far too cool ,making sweeping the chimney every 3 weeks a must .My plan is to take the water jacket off the rear of the chimney and expand the chimney cavity also leaving a door for easy cleaning this winter .I think some insulation will also be used to keep the flue gasses hotter,a rodding eye for the chimney sweep will be a good addition too ,the pipe for the chimney i used is 6inch od with a 10mm wall so it weighs a bit lol .
