Howd the inlet situation turn out. I wouldnt think it would matter since your inlets should actually come in at the bottom and the top ones should be exhaust since heat rises. It should work like a charcoal grill
You asked for comments on the build process. For me, the first 8 minutes could have been summarized with one or 2 simple diagrams. The only value I took from it was the tip about ledgers to support floor insulation. The narration after minute 8 was more useful.
Depends on your latitude, yes! Then if you wanna use it in the winter, then the Virginia Tech design recommends adding 10 degrees. I’m not satisfied with my winter performance so far. Outdoor temps are too cold, and with some trees on my property, I’m just not getting any heat build up at all. It may work if I had an open field like on a farm or something.
@@johnscarboroughregenerativ7240 That’s basically it, yes! Here’s the link to the Virginia Tech design, which is basically what everyone (somewhat) follows: vtechworks.lib.vt.edu/bitstream/handle/10919/98866/420-030_pdf.pdf?sequence=1
Sweet location. Working with your Dad, priceless. Looks good. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Tim! I hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
Loved the humour!! If you haven't checked out the shorts videos, they are funny.
Looks good. I am just in the process of building one myself.
That’s awesome! Let me know if you have any questions and I’d be happy to help where I can!

Thanks for the comment! Here are the plans: vtechworks.lib.vt.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/64394f45-484b-4267-9154-ed10e7d82c5b/content

Well, you probably won’t like the rest of the series then.
How do you figure out What Pitch your roof needs to be? I heard you mentioned the latitude I'm assuming it's based on that?

Yeah I thank I've got a good spot.
So basically I need to figure out my latitude and then Add 10ﾟ To that?
