    Finally got started with the block RF!

    This is where I am at so far in the build. This weekend I hope to get the concrete floors into place and maybe finish the block.  Any input on what I can do better or concerns and even criticisms are welcome!

    Finally got started with the block RF!

    First I want to say thanks to everyone for their knowledge. The process of getting to the starting point has been fun and frustrating.....which in the end will make it more rewarding. Now then, I got started on my intake for the firebox, and decided to make two openings for either side of my grate.

    2 chamber Reverse Flow

    I appreciate it Dave. I'm lucky enough to have a brother in the metals fabrication industry that will supply me with whatever I want out of his scrap. I talked to him yesterday and he's sitting on about 5 tons, and a bunch of it is 1/4"......guess I'm going thick now! Thanks for the knowledge.

    2 chamber Reverse Flow

    This is an incredible build! I've been on here only a few weeks and just stumbled on to your thread. That is true craftsmanship!  Dave, I also have a question for you. I believe it was back in August that you made mention of Kaiser really appreciating the 3/16" RF plate. Why is that? Better all...
