 Re: Getting Started
I think??? I have that worked out to some extent. My plan for the fireplace is to create a smoke chamber behind the firebox. The sides of the firebox are going to angle from front to back. Should look like this "\_/" if up is the front. The rear of the firebox will angle towards the front of the fireplace, from bottom to top, "/". I'm going to leave an airspace between the bottom of the hearth and the rear wall of the firebox, "|/". The hot air will hopefully rise, and end up in the smoke chamber behind the rear of the firebox, and then between the heat and the draw go up the chimney. At least that's the beginning of the plan for now.
ps - per my current design the center of the chimney will be approx 44" from the front of the fireplace. |
