Can I use aluminium flexible pipes that are used for kitchen hoods ?

Frosty here seams can't be opened up you got § circle if this is greek f symbol you got like 4 inches closed circle and that's all So I would be better making hole larger or building this like branch type stove it would suck air better Maybe two separate pipes suck better then one but Ian not sure I will look up to it maybe I can build something from sheet metal it can be squerish. What about spiral pipes are they toxic because they have Zink in it or some sort of thing .

Billy why I can't make two separated pipes that draw away smoke why it must be joined together. Well if I will ripcut stove pipe I can in advance say I will get it ruined and will have two halves ruined pipes and U bend sheet metal. Can you tell me guys which diameter is supposed to be good for forge chimney ? Mine is 4 inch around 10 cm how much I need for it to draw good. And I tend to avoid it being tall above roof I only expel smoke trough elbow where I can control if some fire catch up or something happen. I also need to cut ball more or dig it in dirt because this ( shape make it not to lay flat and hole goes up too much.

You are welcome frosty I allways read your name as foresty like forest not like frost frozen . Well Iam back In shape but I had issue with back from January 14 th and didn't light forge and strike anvulo more then two months . Now Ian better but doctors wrote :Avoid working hard phisical work in bad posture Of course I took chance and when I came to work said them I can't lift more then 10 kilos , and I need to be spared for couple of time. I gave that paper to office of guy that is supposed to be responsible for safety on work. I did that so I can legally a bit be protected. Funny thing is I got backpain from working in factory with food lifting small weights like 5 kilos and wrapping pallet with stretching foil. Sudden movement and it all was done after 10 seconds couple of days worked and got finished ,hardly stand on feet and went to doctor.

Had some forging of clamp Or log dog how you call it

It's from wood stove can I use another one pipe from wood stove to increase it?

Ok make it but let me know how it look after all there are some my copyrights on it Here is how it all went today Will have to see more details make arch and will see will I add another one stove pipe Ian not sure for now. If opening is too big I can shut it with some drilling and some riveting

Lol this atocorrecteris (autocorrecter) killing me I will decide (decode) /see/it for you , it does not show from first place and I don't know how it got send like that Your skool taller a bit k will have to Grint it to se how it will go So yeah " Your look taller a bit I will have to get to it to see how it will go.

Thanks jhc should I ask moderators to merge those topics? It's not helium tank but old boiler. Your skool taller a bit k will have to Grint it to se how it will go.

Thanks i hope so. i saw that JHCC member from i forge iron built this one after googling it .

Yeah frosty I know Ian just using measure I think I will cut it smaller diameter and bend it up , some small cuts that will go in circle then bend it with pliers so chimney pipe fit on it. I think this is good place to start , it's tall enaugh, I will remove old hood and use this sucker as hood. And will probably shut those two pipes too with some welding or just out clay over it or plaster or cement .

I saw on YouTube that it's best hood possible for side drqft forge, so I asked neighbour for old boyler and Ian planing to cut it to make super sucker Anny suggestions or tips are more then welcome As example Ian using this video

Thanks all for support and help. I will see its confusing issue one need to be careful enaugh but not develop anxiety from work per se.

My experience is it need to be fine after one year but, you can't do punching holes where you hold piece with your legs and you drift hole. There are some limitations I think while working, I usually don't force anything bigger than 1" or 1/2 its small forge for some tools making and some tools drawing out as it's tradition here to draw out some old axes that are grinded too much time. Neighbour asked me to do him that, I refused offer , he want it done with axe handle on it. I would do it for free because he is our neighbour and we do favor for favor But I will be - fuel and electricity which is not Bigg deal but health is.
