I know, I know, you all say that a 6" flue is way too small for a coal forge. I live in the middle of town and have an existing 6" flue in my shop. I am kind of restricted to one of two options. 1) Make the 6" work. or 2) Put the forge outside and not have a stack at all.
I plan on using charcoal, or maybe the corn method I just learned about 5 minutes ago. Is it possible that the 6" flue might draw well enough for charcoal or corn. I plan on doing smallish work, not building cannons.
I am also wondering about $/hr for burning charcoal.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
The forge I have is a Canedy (sp?) Otto forge with a Royal Chief blower. The other option is the small riveter's forge with a champion 400 blower.
Thanks
