My chimney is back up again!

Yesterday Kathy and I put our chimney up again. I built it about 20 years ago with 20' of 6" auger tubing inside a 20' piece of 8" tubing. It was sealed on both ends to create a dead air space inside between the tubes to keep the inner one hot for a good draft. I used an old disc blade for a rain cap. I mounted it on concrete beside a basement window and braced it to the eve of the house. The inner tube had finally rusted too much after all these years so I made a new one with some improvements. Our wood/coal burning stove (Locke 120) is in the basement so I replaced one window pane with a steel panel for the chimney pipe to go out and connect to the chimney outside. Having the stove in the basement really makes the upstairs floors nice and warm in the winter.

American ingenuity J--I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jerry that’s a fine looking chimney! Well done!

I love auger chimneys! Been a while since I saw one. And Ive never seen a disc blade for a cap but you can bet your stove I'll be making one of them for myself!

I'll be damned!! Too Good!!

I like every bit of it! "Practical Folk Art"

Thanks guys!

Love it! Who needs Metalbestos?

Any chance you have pics of the interior of your stove? I have picked up a knock off of the locke 120 and cannot find pics of a similar inside setup.

Sorry for the delay, I needed to let it burn out so I could get the ashes out of it for pictures.

Really like that chimney! Like someone else said "American ingenuity" at it's best!

That's a great chimney!

I've never seen anything like that, thanks for sharing
