Another question if someone can answer, I've got a 6" pipe for the smoke stack and I'm thinking of putting it in on the side at grate height. Any comments?

on a reverse flow, the stack only needs to be in just enough to get a good bead on it, otherwise you risk stale smoke, grate height may work for regular offsets, but with reverseflow, you want it in just enough for a bead, and at the highest point, jm2c

Your numbers seem fine to me, I agree with those guys on the stack.
