How much aluminum for heat shield?
Planning on gettting a BHAF and want to build the heatshield. How much 1/8" aluminum stock should I get to build it?
Thanks,

Well, I printed out the template from the Tech Facts section here and pieced it together and it looks like a 16" x 24" piece of stock should work.

This is a word document that you have to download. It is 8 pages that you print out and tape together to make the template (Thanks DPG).
(There is a button at the top of the DTR page that says "Tech Facts", if you click it and follow the links it gets you to the above link.)

As for the template posted on the site here, which material would offer the best shielding? Aluminum, steel, stainless steel?

Something about it holding the heat in too much.
I haven't noticed any ill effects myself.
Steel would probably rust, stainless would look nice under there.
