I’m very intrigued but have a few questions. Is something on the bottom of the stove not needed to hold the belly from coming apart front to rear? Can you do holes and put the rib it’s through to hold? Are the legs what holds this direction together? I found a place to source titanium for bottom how long of a piece needed not length but from left to right sides? How well are guys getting this to seal up without having smoke escape out of the box? Thanks debating this as I like the flat top or a lite outdoors round stove.
