I don't see any problems with that

You have a lot of wiggle room here. The size required depends on your enclosure, an igloo's footprint will be smaller than the framed "houses" you see (generally)

I am building a 42 inch and it seems to me it will probably fit more than you can cook at a time

No - the concern here is to have the cooking floor at a comfortable height.

I would think that's fine considering where you live - definitely add some steel.
Hope this help and I'm sure others will add
