Acorn To Arabella · vídeo

Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of the wooden boat *Arabella* is preparing for the 2024 sailing season by installing a Shipmate wood stove to provide heat for winter living in Camden, Maine.3:05 The installation requires a custom stainless steel deck flange, which was TIG-welded by MS Fabrication to match the specific angle of the cabin house.8:33 To connect the stove to the chimney, the owner fabricated a custom reducer cone from black stove pipe, ensuring the fit avoids the use of galvanized steel, which releases toxic fumes when heated.10:50 The chimney assembly includes a damper to control draft and a specialized vent cap designed to prevent backdrafts in short-stack configurations.6:11 The crew oriented the pipe joints downward to ensure creosote runoff stays inside the flue, preventing potential exterior fires.15:33 Following the installation, the stove successfully burned without smoke leakage.21:02 Future work includes troubleshooting electrical system issues with consultant Nigel Calder and preparing for a planned 2024 voyage to Newfoundland and Labrador.21:56
