Hello we also love it and plan on installing it in a 10x12 cabin in the woods 8600 ft elevation in NM, what kind of chimney and size did you all use?

I use mine in a wall tent so the chimney is not insulated. I bought 4" pipe from Ace Hardware and an adapter that goes from 4" to 2". Helps with the air flow. I also added a baffle near the back to keep the flames from going up the chimney. Add one 4" flue to the pipe to control the burn and replace the handle to get a tighter seal.

the one that comes with it works just fine,you could also get muffler pipe from auto part store if you need more length.

I just used the pipe provided, I installed it in my work shop which is metal.

I took a piece of provided pipe to my local muffler shop. He made me the lengths and bends I needed with flanges for like $30.

This is how I did it----and it works perfectly by the way----I bought an inexpensive exhaust chimney set up. 'Goes like this: 1. a rectangular dryer vent housing that fits over the entire top of the L5. I removed the handle from the heater and attached the vent where the screws secure the handle. The vent has a 3" pipe fixture on it. 2. cut a 5" hole in our cabin----through the ceiling and out of the roof in the bathroom----and then took sheet roof flashing and fashioned a tube to use as a heat block from the 3" exhaust pipe going up and out of the cabin. 3. the 3" exhaust pipe and a articulating elbow----fitted to my needs through the roof 4. self sealing rubber chimney flashing----3" of course with----raised to about 2' from the roof. 5. a wire mesh over the chimney, then a chimney cap 6. tar the seams everywhere you can. I hope this helps. I made my assembly with wood trim in the bathroom as well.

I have 7' ceilings on my front porch and I have mine hanging there. I chose to have the swivel bracket and the spring and can still sit with about 8" to the ground. I would prefer it a bit higher but wont give up the spring to do it. I love this thing and spend a lot of my summer in it. I take it camping and hang it in a tree nearby too. Next accessory for me will be the bracket that goes into my class II receiver.

This model does NOT have the ignitor. We use one of the charcoal chimneys by Weber from Home Depot and it works great.

Hi Zheng, Since this is an Island Mounted unit, the chimney is actually center of the base. I apologize for the confusion. Please let me know if there's any other questions. Best regards, Luxury Decor 888-644-7770

Mike,I am in a unique position to answer your question at least from my own experience. I am at Columbine Cabins in Colorado and at 8700 feet elevation. I have not used it since I got here but needed that question answered for myself so I got it out and hooked it up. It works fine. As always it takes some time for the propane to go through the hose, more than the 30 seconds indicated in the instructions, but once ignited it turns on and stays on. This is a great heater I presently own one and will be purchasing another. Good luck Mike and have a great day.Jim

I use a charcoal chimney to light natural charcoal. Be sure that charcoal is well lit.

I too have 8 ft ceilings.....almost.... This is above my stove area. I would say about 13 inches. But it looks good.

I have this same question - did you end up mounting it to your brick fireplace? how did it go?

The CobraCo SH101 is beautiful and we are looking forward to "smores" in the Fall. It was a birthday gift and he loves it. It is deep so that we can have a safer fire. The last one we had was shallow and we wore it out. The fact that it is copper helps so the heat stays in the pot and we can put out feet closer.....

51 inches bottom of feet to the top of the chimney. The 'firebox' is appx 22 inches in diameter on the inside and about 14-15 inches from grate to start of chimney. The unit burns well. I burn small logs and they are usually completely consumed. I'm quite satisfied with mine.

I had to hire a handy man to install mine because the fort was over 9 feet up. He built up the ground till the turbo slide met the spot. It has worked great, but it was a small project. My grandchildren live it. He put landscape timbers in, back filled, and built a small fence so no one would tumble off the elevated ground.

I would definitely not install anything that is supposed to be installed outdoors in a shed. The chimney on this heater is very short, basically a few inches with a cap, and I would worry both about combustion byproducts and fire safety if it were installed in an enclosed space. There are on-demand heaters rated for indoor installation. You could hang it on the wall outside the shed.

Hi jimmy Yes this is the correct piece. I purchased the extension because we didn't know how high we were going to mount the hood, but didn't end ended up using it. When you buy the extension they automatically swap out the standard chimney. I had to get them to the standard chimney piece later.

I have a 3400 sq foot, four story home, at 10000 feet altitude in Utah, where it gets below -20F at night in the winter. I have two of these, one on the ground floor, one on the third floor. House stays nice and warm in the 70's, my gas bill is less than a hundred dollars a month. I should have installed these years ago (my electric bill heating with baseboards ran up to 700 USD a month).
