    Just did a test burn on her, got right up to my target area with just lump charcoal and biquettes.  I threw a small log in there and it shot right up.  There is still a temp difference between the sides but at least its not 50 degrees anymore.

    Hey yall, made some changes, 3.5 inch chimney.  Elevated the fire grate a little more and enlarged the air in hole.  The fire grate is just a little lower than the top of the air in hole.
