Allen-- How did you tie the arrow shaft legs and stovepipe into the Coleman can? Are those big hose clamps lying on that piece of metal (and how is that all used) on the lower left of the second photograph? It's too late here; my mind isn't working...
jockc, I just used some screws and washers to attach the legs and that way I can take them on and off. the stuff in the 2nd pic is for the stove pipe. The cable rings go on the outside to keep it round and there are 2 cable clamps w/ the ends brazed together on each one to fit into each end of the pipe to keep it's shape. I only use one in the bottom of the pipe to allow the dampner to work easier but it is not really needed. That is acually a little bag to keep the rings in to keep from losing them. --Allen--
Allen--Final question, I hope. Does the stovepipe just sit in the stove on its own weight, or is it somehow fixed against movement (wind, falling snow, etc.)?
jockc, the dampner(flapper) is inserted about 2" up from the bottom and it has a little piece sticking out each side and this is what the pipe sits on, but the weight of the pipe is all that is holding it inplace. I ordered the dampner from TiGoat for about $5.00 when I ordered the pipe. Good luck--Allen--
