raised flue

[snohiker]

im going to try and make a raised flue pan my question is does it matter how wide and deep the flues are. thanks red maples for the tour sunday and all the help ive got some ideas for that other project we talked about when i fab up a mock of it ill bring it over to see if its going to work

No it doesn't matter. However the idea of flues is to give you the maximun amount of surface area in a relatively small area. So the closer you make the flues the more boiling capacity you will have. If the flues are to close then ther will not be enough heat allowed in between the flues. I'm sure the major manufactuers have done a lot of testing over the years and most have about 3/4" inbetween each flue.
