Message: <blockquote data-quote="NDbowman" data-source="post: 254302" data-attributes="member: 1525">Nuways stove pipe kit is galvanized steel. I didn't really seal up my flashing or roof collar. I installed it in the cold in Nov and figured I'd go back and seal it up better later on. I was going to try and just glue the flashing down with some of that black goop in a caulking gun like you use to glue down shingles and seal up leaks on roofs. Maybe a few screws to hold it down tight also. I have a different brand of blind that I also put a nuway heater in, the angle of the roof is a little different. I was having trouble getting the flashing to lay down as flat as I'd like it and on that one I ran some polebarn tin screws with the rubber washers right into the roof. I know that isn't the best way but its what I did and what I had with out in the boondocks.Going out the sidewall isn't a bad idea, but I'd leave as much pipe inside as you can before exiting out the wall. A lot of heat goes up that stove pipe.I've got two blinds with those heaters in them. The one that sits surrounded by trees in sheltered area the heater keeps plenty warm. If its below zero I just keep the windows closed with only one snap holding them shut. In the Banks blind the windows open very quiet and if you move really slow you can open them when a deer is out front.My other blind is more for rifle hunting and sits ontop of a hill out in the open. I didn't install the damper right away thinking it didn't do much. I was wrong, first time hunting in it, it was rather chilly. Anytime you'd open a window the wind would suck all the heat right up the stove pipe. Damper really helped hold that heat in. Thinking of making some sort of heat exchanger to put in the stove pipe right above the heater to hold even more heat in.</blockquote>
