Hey everyone I have a question on opening from firebox to tank was running numbers on calc. And sq inches for opening is 185.19 which if I went 27" across and 7" up from bottom would give just over for what I need and I should have 7" at other end of baffle plate my question could the opening to firebox be bigger with out changing the size at end of baffle

Yes, you can make it bigger, but it will not be as efficient, and you may get a hot spot in the plate right at the FB. Ideally those two need to be equal. FWIW

The norm is in the 4 to 5 inch range.
