Mine is right over the evaporator and about 6' in length +/- an inch or two. It works well to carry everything up and out.
I think if you go too long; you may create a down draft and defeat the whole purpose.
Your going to really like boiling inside.
I agree, over the evaporator and about the same square foot opening as the sq. ft of the evaporator, up to maybe 50% more.

Didn't get much accomplished this past weekend as even the little things take so much time and all the minutes turn to hours pretty quickly. Squared frame up and anchored, furred out windows and installed them. Next on the docket is bricking Arch area.
I hate when pictures are sideways.
What are your plans where you have no concrete? If that is for your evaporator, it should have a good foundation, otherwise it will not stay level as the frost comes out of the ground. Read up on this before you proceed. Or is that where the dog was?

That's where my firebox goes Dave after I brick that area.
OK, that explains it. Thanks for the clarification.

Looks good Trapper2. Getting the young ones involved makes it special!
Looking at your pics...might be way too late now, but I am surprised you didn't double up the top plate. I know it's only a small shack and nobody is living in it, but that single 2x top plate laid flat with your rafters placed off center of the wall studs would make me nervous, especially with the heavy snow loads I'm sure you get in Wisconsin.
