So, let's say some idiot (me, of course) was making plans to build a stove. Please, do not let your NFPA knowledge or better senses overwhelm your scientific curiosities as you respond.
Are there a set of intake and exhaust equations as they relate to firebox sizes or fuel capacities and burn rates? I'm stuck in the chimney stages (don't be constricted by your standard chimney sizes here) and need to make sure that my chimney is large enough (or small enough, in this case actually) to provide adequate draft to the small firebox. I also need to make sure that my intake (airtight with wash) is large enough.
pics will be forthcoming as the build progresses, but I can't start the build on this until I know the chimney and intake for fabrication purposes.
