I have been searching for what should be the dimensions of the system, but couldn't find a ratio.
I attached an section image of the important dimensions.
I'm waiting for your advices..
Thanks..

I have another question on my mind. What should be the thickness of the insulation layer? I'm asking this because If I make a thin insulation like 1.5 inches and we assume that the heat riser is 8" (8+1.5+1.5=11 inches for the riser and insulation)
The insie of my drum is 27 inches. (27-11)/2=8 inches of gap around the heat riser (B dimension in the first picture I post) 8 inches seems to much to me.. Should I make it even with the insulation layer? Does too thick insulation layer makes a negative effect on the system?
Thanks..
