Your chimney/stack volume is almost double what Feldon's calls for also.A lot of people have different thoughts on this though.
Here's Dave's more precise calculator followed by Feldon's.I suspect Dave will chime in soon...

Are FB and CC doors sealed up good?

I think the problem is there's only 1 beer sitting on it, and it's reducing the flow.
