In the perfect world, and wasting fuel was not a consideration, would having the firebox the full length of the pan and flames under the full length of the pan ideal, instead of having a ramp?
Thanks

Not needed, a properly designed ramp and flues pan boils hard all the way back, why burn more fuel?
