TASMITH Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 My forge I got just prior to building my new shop had a regular overhead hood with a ten inch chimney attached that did pull the smoke away but not very effectively. I made a modified version of the side draft that works extremely well now. I usually throw a bit of crumpled newspaper in the draft box to warm the chimney a bit when the weather is cool in early spring/late fall to get it drawing till the fire is going well but otherwise never have to worry about smoke. Overall length of the ten inch stove pipe is about twelve feet straight up so I get really good draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 This hood is used with a charcoal fuel fire. Not shown is the swing away door to block the radiant heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
