Steam Draft
Morning all,
Two years ago we insulated the sugarhouse and covered the walls. We have an oil fired arch. Now, unless we open the door a few inches, we have little to no steam draft. We heat the sugarhouse with a wood stove but even when it's all warmed up, we still have lots of steam. Anyone else have this issue? What did you do to increase your draft? I hate keeping the door open, it makes my feet cold!

I thot this was supposed to be a hobby
do you have a cupola or do you have a good with a steam stack? if you have a hood and stack, you can try adding another length or two to your steam stack? More stack should increase your draft?!
Awfully thankful for an understanding wife!
