Miller chose to show the wrong picture as not knowing I sent several. The finished product can be seen at my Facebook page Nick Petri, It has a 6" flue with a very unique diamond door that seals very well. Thanks for looking! Nick

Not sure why no finished pic. Guess the flue goes into the orange tank on top,kinda like a old train boiler

It was pretty much built in my head, the finished product is really neat with a diamond shape door with a rope tite seal. I can send a pic of it or look at my profile picture on face book.

I like your design for shop heating did you layout plans or was it a build off the cuff?,

I am disappointed Miller chose not to show the finished product which was included when submitted. It has a very unusual door that I am especially proud of.
