Air over the fire

[Romeo]

I have 3x10 raised flue I would like some one to please tell where air tube that goes a cross back fire box is located on the ramp . I know the side ones are 6 " below the finish pan . Should the side ones go all the way to the front of the arch ? Thank You Marty

The air tubes should be at all except the fill door. I just entered the ramp from underneath, then I have the manifold go both ways at 6" below the pans. at the sides it turns toward the front (both sides) at the front it turns and has 1 more nozzle just before the fill door. The nozzles all face straight to the opposite side and angle down 10 degrees. Here is Vermont's Proctor maple Research instructions to build: http.uvm.edu/~pmrc/Combustion.pdf‎

I just tried that link and it came back file not found. I too am curious about aof. Is there another place I could try? Thanks.

Try this:

http://www.uvm.edu/~pmrc/Combustion.pdf

The URL looks the same as Dave's but it seems something got appended to Dave's link which is causing the error.

That would be the proper link^. I followed these recommendations when I built my intensofire clone and am getting firing times from 30-45 mins and fire box temps well over 2000F.

While I get good boils at 30 minute fuelings, I get better at 10 minutes. Before the AOF I fueled every 7 minutes, now it's every 10 minutes. All in all, I burn less wood and boil faster.
