Love the flowing design. Thanks for posting.

OK. Unchained my anvil and weighed it on a bathroom scale. About 202 pounds so the weight on the anvil is in American. I flipped the anvil over and took a picture of the bottom perhaps it will help. I believe the two boogered up areas on the edge of the two sides shown in the pic are not original to the anvil. It looks to me like it was welded down at one time and then cut free....... Thanks for looking!

I did not check the bottom. I'll try to do that tomorrow some time. I looked hard for a serial number on the foot but didn't see one. I assumed the "202" was hundredweight but it could be pounds.

Just thought I'd post an update on what I ended up doing - I appreciated all the help. I ended up using 12 inch spiral pipe for the chimney and 14" spiral pipe to double wall it in the rafters (perhaps not needed but it made me feel better). I also used a section of 14" pipe for the low loss stack above the roofline. I attached a few pics to show what I did. The low loss stack seems to work well (the draw is great) and little rain or snow gets down to my forge. Precipitation has to fall straight down to get in. I was worried about snow but last winter even with lots of snow I did not have an issue. Anyway, thanks for the help.

Hi. I recently picked up this anvil and was wondering if anyone could ID it for me. I've posted a few photos and took some measurements. Total length: 28.5 Face: 18x4.5 Height: 11.5 Footprint: 11x9.5 The only readable writing on it is "202" on the side. Above this is a possible letter that might be an "H" without its crossbar. Presumably the 202 is the weight in hundredweight which would put it about 226 lbs which feels about right (I have not weighed it). Thanks for the help.

Hey guys thanks for all the tips. Thought I'd follow up and let you know what I ended up doing. I ended up using 12" spiral duct sleeving it with 14" to go through the roof. I went back to 12" before exiting the flashing. I used 4' of the 14" to make a low loss stack cap on the top. The 12" chimney and "super sucker hood" draws wonderfully, I'm really impressed. I was a little skeptical about the low loss stack cap but it works great in keeping the rain out. It does, however, let in a little snow. Thanks again, Robert

Great stuff. Do you think it needs to be double walled going through the plywood roofing? Or, is it cool enough with simply adequate spacing?

Thanks for the ideas. I'll keep looking.

What are you guys using for 12" chimney's? I have a "Super Sucker" type hood that I am installing and need to come up with the chimney pipe. It will go straight up through the pole barn roof (asphalt shingle). I am a novice on this type of thing so don't assume I know anything. I'm having a tough time finding single wall 12" wood stove pipe. People look at me like I'm crazy....... Any help would be appreciated. Robert
