This whole vent/chimney and draw thing is quite new to me. As you can see in the phote my vent area, like an inverted funnel, in my second row (which is 6.5" wide) goes from 9.3" at the bottom of the row to 6.5" at the top of the row. The support for my flue goes up another 2" and then I've added my flue liner which is 6.5" x 6.5". So far it's two feet high but I have another 2' section, Plans were to place it on top and see if there was any difference.
So if the bottom of the vent should be twice the top in area, should I tamper the sides of the second row so that opening is about 9" wide?
If 2:1 ratio is suggested, what distance from the top to the bottom is recommended?
I guess not understanding all of this and flying by the seat of my pants, I'll try stuff and see what works. Any advice will be considered! Maybe the e-book should be expanded to help future(present) builders.
