Yeah, I didn't have time to cut the hinges, my cnc plasma table was down with a stripped sprocket. What kind of brick is fire brick and where can I get it?

 Most any masonry supply house stocks it locally in varying sizes.

I priced a lot of refractory brick on line. Local masonry supply is the cheapest. Not sure how wide spread they are but I got some thru Old Fort Building Supply.

Just finished the door and added fire brick, had fire burning for about 2 hours still kinda smokey, measured stack temp with infared gun, was about 100 degrees F, does that seem too low maybe?

I'm definitely no expert, but your going to have smoke.  Your not re-burning the exhaust gases, only routing them through heat xchange to utilize more heat.

Yes, very low if you measured it at the breech and used a temp probe, what is your water temp?
