Getting to heating... I have 2 differing heaters with fans and computer boards and all that energy sucking stuffs...
I also have this Hydro flame ARS-10L,

Basically an open flame inside a can vented to outside.

What I'm wondering is IF I were to make this "can" bigger/better, its 7" in diameter and 14" tall some kind of sheet metal....

IF I were to make the can taller out of thicker metal would my heating improve. The thin metal plate that catches the flame.
Here is my current flame, I think it looks clean, do any of you see any improvements I could make here ??

I would like to know IF that were a number of pipes welded together, honeycomb style with a thicker "catch plate" over the top of them. Would the flame provide more heat inside or just take longer to get up to temp and then cool off.... Can I have too much volume going through, as in I'd like to change the 2" exhaust tube to a 4", then making the 2" supply duct right into a 5" feed from outside that it came with.
Any and all help appreciated, thank you.
