I don't think you want the chicken wire but you only want a space of about 3/8" opening between the posts. If you look at the picture where posts were suggested, those posts when installed give a U shape to hold ashes and then the spacing to the next post is on top of the open U shape. That way ashes fill the U to protect the post and air flows thru the space. I'm not sure the T post you used is ideal for that.

Dave Klish, I recently bought a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
