    No Danny, I'm sorry I can't find that post.  Dave kind of left it wide open on flexibility of design of the plenum.  I wimped out and cut mine at conventional height today.  Not a problem to continue it downward.  That was the advice I was seeking but apparently I did not communicate well.  I...

    Dave, Yes, your drawing is what I plan to do.  Somewhere I saw advice to extend the base of  the plenum all the way to  the fire box,  Kind of confused me.  Thanks. Jerry

    Dave, Was able to mig spot-weld a scrap piece if 1/4" plate from the front into the fillet angle and cut the welds back enough to eliminate interference with the door.  Got a 3/4" seal.  I cut the vents above the door at 2.25" square and made and mounted their slide damper today.  Also cut the...

    Dave, I agree, but it is done now and am looking for ways to possibly fix after the fact.  Given the space and size of the door, I'm guessing about 1 square inch of total leakage along the hinge side.  Given that I need 31 square inches of available vent, will it matter? Jerry

    Added flanges to the door today and fabricated handles and friction locks.  FB door seals to less than 1/32" on 3 sides. Am trying to figure out something for the hinged side.  About a 1/16" space there; may not be enough to be concerned  about..    Anyone"s thoughts? Also tested and vetoed the...

    Thanks Gary, Well, at insistence of Wifey, just got back from urgent care.  X-ray shows one cracked and chipped bone.  Not too much can be done about it so will boot up tomorrow and work through it. Jerry

    Made some progress the last couple of days....until the lid fell edge-first on my left foot yesterday.  Finished up the welding and cutting I was going to do for the day, but foot is sure swollen and sore today.  Guess I'll have to take some time off.   My calculations were off 1/4" for space...
