> Dumb question, But as you increase the size of the firebox, wont you have to increase the size of the chimney also to get or keep proper draw?

the people that we have talked to didn’t say anything about that. I guess we really wouldn’t be increasing the size that much, just enough to put the fire brick in and not make the box any smaller. The brick in the back, the green part, is really just like a facade. It’s only about an inch thick.
