Do not flatten the rectangles because the curves fit well. Save the small rectangle piece for making the draft. For safety, cut the sharp corners off, but not too much.

This will be the opening to the fire box. ![]() The smaller rectangle (12″ x 8″) should be cut in the upper section.

The stovepipe will fit down over these tabs. Next, mark and saw 1/2-inch wide tabs up to the large circle. Then with the saw, cut out the small circle and discard it. The radius of the small circle should be about 3/4 inch less than that of the large circle. With a jar lid or whatever you have, draw another circle inside the stove pipe circle. With a pencil, trace a circle on the top of the barrel using the inside of the pipe as a guide.
