Timelapse from the rocket burn yesterday.
I intended to record the entire burn and cooldown but the camera video file stops after about an hour. Oh well, the camera should have been higher up to show the top of the bench anyways. Next time!
The modification does seem to even out the heating of the bench. I had a little trouble with smoke when loading too much fuel in the feed tube, which never happened before. It would make sense that it's not drawing air in as strongly with the longer route for the flue gases to travel. The chimney itself is also about 2 feet shorter after upgrading it to stainless steel.

quoting nevent1q…83f5Testing out a modification to the rocket bench.
I added an elbow to the chimney intake and extended it horizontally to the end of the bench. This should help distribute the heat more evenly in the bench, and might allow extending the bench length later.
