I have the arch moved inside the sugar kitchen and fully insulated with blanket and roxul batts. Fire box is bricked. Behind the arch you can see the air plumbing. The fan is in the attic and comes into the room in 4” and at the y reduces to 3” both ways. Both lines have valves for air control.

The top lines comes in back of the arch to a manifold then runs under the raised flue pan in 4x 1.5” tubes to preheat the AOF air. Those tubes go to the front manifold and are distributed into the firebox through 1/4” pipe nozzles. AUF line goes under the firebox and through the grates.

Installed the pan gasket and pans, used leader raised flue set from bascom. They have an excelent selection and would recommend this to anyone looking to stay in a tighter budger. Overall I am very pleased with how it turned out. I will update gph after I get a few test boils in. Later this week I will be taking my aluminum roll flashing and borrowing a trim break to form up a hood. Enjoy!
