I'm very new to this hobby and this forum, but I had to chime in about the cookstove. I have the kit (haven't started it yet) and noticed both in the plans and some pictures the stove is in the forward cockpit under the mast brace. But the Smithsonian pictures seem to show a stove immediately to the right of the port nine-pounder, with a wall of bricks against the ceiling planks.
See the 3-D (http://americanhistory.si.edu/exhibitions/gunboat-philadelphia) or one of your own pictures from post #5 in your scratchbuild:
So I've been following your build and was wondering what your approach would be here.

I did not follow the whole scratch build thread (I figured it was over my head) so thanks very much. I am learning a lot here. I am headed to DC next week for business, will try to sneak in a visit to the prototype if time permits and educate myself further.
