Man, I'm amazed at the many ways people do this stuff! Not how I'd do it, but it may just work fine. The biggest problem I'm seeing in your build, is the amount of space you are allowing for insulation. Rule of thumb is, 1" if insulation for every 100 degrees of temp rise you expect. So If you are looking to raise the temp to 500-550, you'll need 4.5 - 5 inches of insulation. At the 550 range you can still get away with 4 inches of ins.... but there will be a price to pay in heat loss, and energy bills.

The gun set-up is a good start for a person to learn and coat a lot of schmancy stuff with.... There are many others to check out too, in the same range of price.
