The chamber fan in the T really useful if you are still using right guard or an aerosol. Im Australian by the way so im using DWV pipe

Upgrades to come will be a laser sight and maybe propane

Can you change those measurements? They all said feet instead of inches, so I was disappointed with the pics after seeing
"16' long chamber
