Thanks, waited exactly for someone to do this when I saw the image.
👏
In this design, wouldn't Saddam flood when it rained?
He can have a fan, as a treat
This is cool, but where does the carbon monoxide go?
It looks for the label “smoke vent”, and follows the arrow
But seriously, there’s a good point that they’re expecting this to be covered with snow, and that’s probably critical to weather-sealing and insulating it, but why wouldn’t the vent also get covered?
Maybe they need to clear it off frequently? It also looks like the vent is just a hole in this image though, so nothing for snow to land in.
Same place as the smoke from a woodstove, it's sucked out by the chimney effect.
Maybe a fireplace is a better example, since a wood stove is more sealed off from the room it's in. I'll have to read about the chimney effect.
Into your blood
Why do they design it so that they have to crawl through a pool of freezing water to get in or out?
