At this point (two days of curing fires) I am not particularly impressed with my draw. Certainly not the show you describe above. I am wondering if extending the flue (by adding another 24" length), reducing the size down to 8"x8" or both would help the draw. Any thoughts?
Thanks for any help.

I'm also very interested in this question. My vent area is almost 7x7 with a 24" vent. I have another 24" section if needed, but am concern about the weight, though it seems real sturdy now.
