48x20 cc 12208 cubic inches
18" square box 5832 cubic in
4069 cubic inches recommended so is this much bigger ok?
And the chimney is 4"pipe 24" tall
does this mean 24" from top of cc or does it include the amount protruded into cc

I meant to put 48x18 it may be 19 though would the calcs still be pretty good I would assume so and how high do y'all usually put the rd plate from bottom of cc is it just a continuation of top of fb?
Thanks for any insight!

Just past the weld, so the RF plate will have straight sides...
