When it is blowing (and we are sailing), The Charlie Noble comes off
and we close the hole, then there is less chance of flailing sheets
snagging the stove pipe. We then use an alcohol stove that fits over
the Dickinsen. The stove pipe is pretty well out of the way behind
the lower forward shrouds and it would be difficult to lurch against
it but never the less it comes off in a blow. I presume you are
talking about the outside portion of the stack.

The Dickinsen is primarily a fall, winter and spring stove here in the
PNW. It keeps the boat warm and dry. On cool summer evenings we light
it but not often.

Do you run that stove while sailing? I had a Cole / coal stove on one of
my boats, but it was for at anchor only.
Yes. It draws fine unless I am close hauled on a starboard tack, then I
have to turn it up a bit to keep that draft working well.
