Thanks for the replies ,.
I don't know much about my forge I would love to get some history on it but alas I have found none. The blower is marked Lancaster geared blower NO40. ALSO, Champion blower & forge CO Lancaster, PA, U.S.A.
Point being I think its decently old (poss before exectics, at least in a BS shop), do you think it was made for a powered exhaust. If so I would get one. I LOVE OVERKILL lol.
Would anyone think that I should take the cover off and get a hood and a 10" or 12" pipe. If I'm spending money I might as well go deep lol.
some pics.
Bad pic of building. Before I started cleaning it out.
