Last year, I used the openings already in cinder blocks as the stack on my 1 pan block arch. This year, I'm building a 6 pan arch and installing an 8" stove pipe.
I read that I need the stack to be 2x the length of my pans. But, that's about 13 feet.
The problem is that I built my arch out in the open. I can't think of a good way to support this pipe, sticking up in the air. There aren't even trees very close which I could wire it to.
I toyed with building a block chimney structure around it, going up part way... but a narrow stack of dry-laid block going up too high doesn't seem safe with my little kids running around.
I toyed with wiring it down to the pegs in the ground, somehow... but that doesn't make for a very good work area.
Ideas? Suggestions? Any remotely pertinent thoughts at all?
