Suger house plan

[caseman]

What if any would be the suggested hieght for the raised ridge portion of a sugerhouse? I'm using a 2x6 raised flue evap and will have 18'x12' for an outside demension of the shack. My quess right now is 2' for the drop down louver. :?:

Im a bit confused by the question, but keep in mind your stack height REALLY NEEDS to be 12'....taller you cook in the front pan too much and shorter in the back pan (I might have that backwards). I have a 10:12 pitch on my 8x16 house. The coupola should be about 2 feet taller than the roof if thats what youre asking, and maybe about 2' wide and about 6' long just guessing. I hope this helps in some way.

I just finished a 18x12 sugarhouse and the cupala is 4 ft wide x 6 ft long and the hinged doors are around 2 feet. The cupala roof is pitched the same as the roof (40 degrees). Hope this helps. I can post some pics if you are interested.

Caseman,
I posted a view pictues. Click on my profile to view. I have a cad file of the sugarhouse dimensions if that would help.

Jim,

Sure is a nice sugarhouse and a handy wood storage area! :D

Jim- I'd love to see more details/CAD file. I love the timber framing inside! I think I'm a year or two off, but am trying to collect images and plans now.

Also, if anyone is interested, I have been collecting images of sugar houses from this board (and wherever else I can find them). It is in a powerpoint format. Let me know at JTCINV@YAHOO.COM if you'd like a copy sent.
