 Forge smoke problem
Hi there all this is my first thread so here goes.
I burn 'Forge Breeze' Coke nuts on my air blown coke forge. I have the problem that after a days forging I have noted multiple tiny pitt marks on my house double glazed windows. I know this is definately caused by my forging activities. There seems to be minute red hot spits in the exhaust from the forge which are still hot buy the time they settle on a nearby house window(situated some 10 feet away)
I have a relitively small back garden and so I think I increase the distanced of 10 feet to say 15 feet max.
I dont at this stage want to make any large investment in a propane gas forge as I love to work over the hot coals so to speak.
Can anyone out there give me some advice on a way around this problem, I would be willing to try a different coke but to be honest I get a good heat from this coke product and although there should be alternative coke I like the performance and burn of this one.
My forge has a cylinder type fan blower which is a recycled extractor fan from a fume cabinet which was reclaimed from scrap.The air enters through a 2.5 inch steel pipe in a side draught direction into the coke fire.
Any advice would be very greatfully recieved.Many Thanks H&T
