Re: Chimney in back of oven The chimney type you are talking about is known as a squirrel tail for obvious reasons. It I believe was used by dutch settlers to this country. I know of a youtube video of a 3or4 day build of such an oven you might want to search it to see for yourself. Ive often thought of redirecting the exhaust gasses over the dome to increase heat absorbtion similar in concept to masonary heaters. |
