Reverse flow baffle to cook rack distance and throat size

[Nathan mclaren]

Hey guys I've just started a reverse flow offset build diameter of pipe 32.677" 78"long 10.5mm thick. On looking at calculations the fire box to cc I would mount my round firebox about 13.5" above the bottom of cook chamber? Does this sound correct. Ive got my doors cut at 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock this will only leave me around 2 " between the baffle plate and my bottom cook racks is this 2 close

Hey Dave yea ive been working through that link for days and I think I have it figured out it's just that if I worked it out right my fire box round the same diameter as the cc would be mounted 13.5" above the bottom of the cc will give me about 2 " between baffle plate and my bottom cook rack?
