  1. That is the ash dump. All the trash from the fire pot will fill that up and block the air. So once in a while you have to dump it out. Usually just once a day.
  2. I don't think you will like the compressor. If it is large enough to keep up the noise will drive you nuts. You can pick up a blower for $60 to $150. That sounds high compared to the price of your forge but you got a STEEL! I have bought two Champion blowers in the last three years and paid $75 for each one. Also from the last pic it looks like that air inlet is the add on. I am using the welded pipe to base my thought. The rest, including the legs look like a single casting. The round firepots had a little bracket that bolted on about where that handle bolt is and the blower bolted to the bracket. I am not sure for yours though as I have never seen that style before.
  3. That's a great find, is the handle original or an add on for the cart? If it is an add on the bolt hole was probably for the bracket that held a hand crank blower, as found on the round fire pots. I agree with above post either online or better yet a local blacksmith group. It amazes me at all the different styles of forges produced and yours is another first for me. Have fun with it!
