When you use the calculator, it will give you the square inches of firebox opening you need. How do you correlate this to the openings you made in the pinwheel? Thanks

You said you wanted feed back. You spend a lot of time explaining useful information and it’s great stuff. However when you’re explaining something that you want the viewers to see the camera man isn’t close enough or in the wrong position and we cant see what you’re trying to show the viewers.
