Master of the Pit
Or place the pipe further back on the top of the chamber, it does not need to be centered in the top.
single most important thing !!! Makes a huge difference!This is because I have the top of the firebox double plated with 1/4" plate with an inch gap in between. I know that RW does something like that and it makes SO much since to me for conservation of heat loss.
Howdy. I will be trying to finish up enough of the pit today to finally run some smoke through it. I will post pictures later. I have a question for Dave, RW, or anyone who can answer it.
I originally was going to have the fb/cc opening as Feldon's had calculated, but then made the whole area open under the rf plate as Dave/RW have mentioned. But, I left the opening at the other end of the rf plate based on that initial calculation. I'm not sure if it is now supposed to be the same as the fb/cc opening. However, I did leave 1 1/2" at the end of the plate where I put the grease dam, thinking that if I needed to, I could cut that out to attain the additional volume.
Is the area at the end of the plate supposed to equal the volume of the fb/cc opening? Thanks in advance for your help!
