On feldons pit builder it says for a half moon fb to cc 10.90 " or 46.66 Squre inchs how big is that I don't really under stand the 10.90 half Moon

If Feldon's says use 47 sq in., make it 71.... When using Feldon's. make the FB 100% of actual size in the calcs.... then use the numbers.... then multiply the FB/CC opening x 1.5... that give a better smoker...... use this formula for the size of the FB/CC opening....
http://www.1728.org/circsect.htm .... Use Radius and Segment Height ED to figure the opening......

tell me about your hinges, I like the look of them and might use something similar on my build, what is the geomotry and the guage of metal you used.

if you dont mind that is :-)
