No pics yet. Haven't had time to get anything done other than cut my firebox material. Been looking at several builds and trying to decide how I want to do my doors. Don't want to cut the tanks until I'm sure.
Glad I looked at the calculator. I noticed it got revised right after I posted my numbers. Therefore my

Man is it ever HOT here in middle Georgia. Thought I would share what 2- 5X10 sheets of 1/4 plate look like when sheared to sized for fire boxes. The remains will be used for the RF plates.

Been a while since I posted an update. Seems like as soon as I save a little money for my steel some thing else in my house breaks.
In the mean time I've been looking at other builds and making plans for my own. I've seen 250's with single doors to the CC but mostly double doors. I think I...
Thats the answer I was looking for. Thanks Dave. I ran my numbers a while back using Feldons and adding the 1.5 factor. With help from members here I have my numbers but I wanted to check them against the improved version.
So this circle calculator is telling me what width my firebox should be. I had planned on 27" but playing with the numbers I come up with 27.80". I'm only guessing at this point because I'm not sure what the tank thickness is. I plugged in 14.25" radius guessing the tank is .375" thick.
