Typically there are three nozzles 4.7 up from the bottom

120 degrees apart pointed down at a 45 degree angle at the

hot well and one 3.7 up from the bottom angled down at

the hot well.

Step 3: Using a hole saw, saw a 1.5 hole in the ash bin six

inches up from the bottom. Weld a 1.5 pipe coupling

over the hole as a gas outlet.

Step 6: Weld the legs on. The best way to do this is to
