Yup. Interior masonry chimney. Both times. So maybe the bricks help the chimney hold heat long enough to maintain the draft until the fires right out? I let coals idle for a looooooong time sometimes. Like today, easily 13hrs out of some silver maple and still a hot bed of coals I could rake up and ignite large splits no problemo and no CO. I also have had in both homes a forced air natural gas furnace in the basement as well that can run at the same time if I desire with no issues.

Thanks, you as well. I'm thankful that I haven't experienced any draft issues like I read so much about here. Currently I'm about 23' to stovetop through that interior masonry chimney and I find it pulls just right for my current stove.
I am finding that this 'hobby' of wood burning is starting to consume me and I'm just becoming more and more curious about the how's and whys.
