Hi everyone, I just recently joined the site and I'm a new blacksmith building my first forge. I've read a lot of threads here and elsewhere and of course watched many how-to YouTube videos on forge building. I've settled on building a brake drum forge inside of a 55 gallon drum to forge inside of my garage. For safety reasons I will only be forging with my 2 car garage door wide open, as well as the side garage door. For a chimney I'm installing a 12" vent tube to the top of the barrel which will take smoke out of the window. My question is, has anyone tried to setup a bathroom fan or something similar to suck the smoke out in a similar barrel forge configuration? With a 12"chimney is this just overkill?

Thought I would share a couple of pictures of my forge fire. The fire is fueled by coke and the surrounds and base are stone / cement. The chimney is galvanised commercial vent ducting. The fan is a new commercial model and the main cost. I got the steel tue nozzle from ebay - its cooled by the circulation of water through the hoses you can see. The 'tank' is a plastic storage container and holds the water used to cool the nozzle. The fan blows air into the nozzle and is regulated by the shutter I made. Hope you find this useful. Mark
