This is it now. The top is 2.75 inches from the top edge of the fire pot. The top of the bullet grate is two knuckles on my middle finger to the bottom of the pot. 
 

It does work. Clinker forms and falls down in a ring around the grate.  Clinker does form and clog the opening, but my poker can clear it without disturbing the fire. 

"DID YOU KNOW????  The best way to shorten the life of any blower is to overheat it. Common causes of overheating comes from low voltage and not allowing blower to use its own mechanisms to cool itself.   This is why we do not recommend rheostats - variable speed controls; they slow the speed and lower the voltage." Is it true?
