    500 Gallon Reverse Flow heating issues

    You asked "How big is the space from the baffle to the rest of the chamber?" I am not sure I understand your question.

    500 Gallon Reverse Flow heating issues

    I dont use the baffle when i am using the fan. Call any place that refills large propane tanks. They have to inspect when they fill, at least every so often. If they find issues they will take the old tank and charge the home owner for a new tank.

    FYI, when you call around looking for a tank, ask for a decommissioned tank. I picked this one up for $70.

    500 Gallon Reverse Flow heating issues

    I think you're right about heat collecting at the top. I am working out a solution without having to cut the firebox off.  I used an arduino with a high temp probe, LCD screen, and a transistor to kick the 20cfm fan on and off. The fan just stokes the fire so it doesn't actually disperse it...

    I got the new stack. I have some cleanip on it to do still but 6"ID should be plenty to allow flow.
