Good day!
Wow! What an incredible detail description of how to maintain our flues.

Please advise from a maintenance perspective, the easiest design for our freestanding fireplace’s new flue pipe coming through a Nutec house wall straight up beyond the roof line?

Thanks in advance

I wouldn’t try pyrex. Any of my past attempts of pyrex on a stove top have all resulted in shattered glass all over the place while whatever I had been attempting to no longer exist or be saved in any way. No matter the temperature or even starting at room temp. and bringing the heat and the pyrex temperature up together gradually. NO.

Comment on 2020 EPA Regulations For Wood Stoves: What Do They Mean For You? by Skeanaught

No consent of the “governed” necessary, even though the only legal authority the government has is that which is granted by the people they swore an oath to serve. Regulations should only apply to areas plagued with people who would allow such overstepping of authority (transfrancisco, etc.)
