Nothing about forges and the BI has no clue. It's is an AG building with a small SF - My insurance people are looking into how they treat a local historical village and seeing of the can come up with something. 

Bigger pipe = bigger draft? 

I live in Canada and my workspace was outside; which meant I only could smash metal from May to November. Ive been working on building my Smithy (basically a pole barn) since July and it's almost done (I'll post a photos when I'm 100% done). I have a question regarding the chimney for my coal forge. I'm installing a wood stove and I know I need a insulated chimney pipe for when it goes through the metal roof. Question: Do I need insulated chimney pipe for my forge or will single wall pipe be ok? I'll be using a rivet forge with a hood and will be upgrading to a  24x30 coal forge as budget permits. Thanks!
