Well according to my calculations I probably should just restart haha. Need 13" diameter coming off my fire box, 6" stack 30" long, and what really seemed odd to me is it said I need 50sq in of intake on my fire box? Is that a little overkill?

Mine requires 30sq in for my 24x62" pit. That sounds about right.

Thinking about doing a reverse flow now that I did my calculations lol. How far close cam you have your grate to the plates?

No word from Rib yet? I'm gonna PM him, He is a great resource.

I take it that it won't draft and you can hardly get any temp in your CC?

First thing I'd do is look at some of the current builds and see how the firebox sits on the cook chamber. Anytime you try to offset the firebox way out there it's going to give you problems.

And that stove is cast right? Going to be hard to weld to, and hold up on a mobile unit.

Once again, start looking at some of the current builds on the reverse flow section, once you see how they are set up, your going to want to make a major overhaul on this build.
