    Thanks. It comes from working flat rate for years. The job pays 3 hours wether you finish it in one hour or 5 hours. Gotta just figure it out and get it done, Or eat hotdogs.

    I could have just done one 90. Last minute I decided to try the 2 45’ for something new. And to leave plenty of room to install the blower. I’m working with a 25 foot chimney. seems like plenty of draft. All I have right now to go on is the magnetic thermo. I’ll have to bring my ir gun home Monday.

    So far I have just run it on the lowest air setting with small loads. Seems like an inferno in the box. I’ll feel better tonight when I can take some more accurate temp measurements.

    So I am thinking that a smaller diameter flue would increase draft?

    After we talked about the manometer I did squat. I am kicking myself for that.
