Central Boiler Classic 6048 finally Up & Running.

I'm about a month into burning this year and all is well.  I have made one change this summer that has help immensely.  I added two more sections of chimney for a total of 4.   I then put the cap back on top (screen removed) to keep the rain out.    So far this year I have not had any problems with ground level smoke.  Last year we had a lot of smoke oder getting into the house because it was hanging low to the ground.   Now the top is 20 above ground and the smoke drifts away.       On the down side, I no longer get those spectacular flames shooting out of the chimney when I open the door to feed the fire.

I buy the thermoplex from CB, and it runs mostly 3' under ground, but there is place it is only 6" to 8" and snow doesn't melt.
I think the thermoplex is worth the $.
