Forge question

I am getting ready to build a new vertical forge and I'm not sure how much space to leave between the burner and the opening ( how tall to build it ). After insulating, the inside will be fifteen inches deep and eight to ten inches wide. I will leave several inches below the burner for flux but I'm not sure how much space to leave for the heat to even out below the door. I have plenty of materials but don't want to waste fuel.

I have looked at the ones that Ellis has on his site I just wondered if there is a standard to go by. Perhaps Ed will tell me about his, I already copied his press, why not his forge
