What I don't love so much is the impact of the smoke on the OUTSIDE of the boat. The proximity of the charlie-noble to the dodger (maybe three feet) resulted in corrosion damage to the 'eisenglass'. important to protect such.

I suspect that the use of coal is a major contributor to the problem. I never used very much (25 lbs over 6 months or more of cruising), and we can all agree the environment will benefit from not using it at all. Still, smoke is smoke.

Anyone interested in the installation process is welcome to read all about it: https://svripple.blogspot.com/2016/0...ve-part-i.html

I appreciate your information but be careful, you can't link to your blog here even if it is free and non-monetized as I just got my hands slapped for doing that even though I had done it for many years prior. When a moderator sees your post they will likely remove it automatically, and maybe even mine here too since I quote you!
