looks like a Jambo clone. I'm wondering what kind of temp change do you have from end to end and top to grate level?

I haven't tested it yet... but the inlet hole is 3x the size of the exhaust hole. so technically heat should build up in the pit causing it to be a fairly constant temp... but like any pit it will always be hotter near the box....

im working on the fuel consumption with the insulation now...
If i have to adjust the stack height i may do that to.. but i think im pretty close on that measurement...

Laying the ceramic insulation over the outside of the box then builing another box around it... ie;

24x24 box + 2" insulation add another box around it 26 x 26" box..

Weld together...
