Hey Folks,

I decided to keep going with the ideas I've had for increasing the volume =
and shape of my Bourry box so it will spread the fuel better and get more a=
ir under the fuel in the Pignose and Bourry mouse holes...

My thinking is the air coming in gets heated on the way and expands in vol=
ume two or three times at the coal pile. Let us now pray the warped shelf s=
tays in one piece. I can also see something of the step firebox in the mous=
e hole profiles with a long tread and short riser. This should work just as=
good so stay in there eh.
