Funny you should ask, Rob! just trying to figure out how to get a sheltered outside space for firing the darn thing in the rain.
I've got a shed roof adjacent to the tiny shop, actually intended for the purpose, poured a pad last fall, but suddenly housing 3 unused bikes and other family stuff, which I will be moving out.
Probably need a small hood of some sort over the furnace and metal chimney even though unsided. Might do that stuff today.
ps. Oz sorry to hear that! It's the weatherman's fault!
Hey if I get the sheltered furnace going it's sure to clear up!
