Hopefully with the flue being low I won't get to much sparks. I'm sure I will have to do some tuning to it. I can always reduce the size of the flue to 6" if needed. We will see!

Thanks for the input. The nozzle your referring to is actually the door opening after I cut it out. The nozzle is where I pressure tested with air before cutting it out. I'll put the flu down that way because a guy at work has a central boiler that's the way his is. I figured it would be easier to cut off some of it if needed rather than adding to it. All my materials I got from work for free. Yes its going to be forced air. Planning on putting in on the door. I wanted a bigger fire box but that was the biggest peace of pipe I could find. What do you think about not filling the water side all the way up? As far as the flange holes I was going to use my torch.

Here is my build. Water jacket is 52'' diamiter by 5' 3/8'' and firebox is 27'' dia. by 4'8''. Flue is 8'' and set about 3'' off of bottom of firebox. I still need to finish the door and back side of boiler. Was thinking of using the flange to bolt the back side on so I could remove it if I had any problems. If you see anything I can approve on I welcome comments. I have a few questions on the pump and piping size I should use. House will be around 200' run slighly down hill and is 2400 sq. ft. with basement. And my shop is 40x56 fully insulated and furnace will only be about 25' from the shop. What size pumps and supply lines should I run?
