Tubbe Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Hi, This is the progress of my forge build. I thought I had to share this with you all. Here is the sketch I started off with. I started welding the firepot from 10mm plate. My old stick welder came to good use, but excuse my welding skills... This is my first version of the "air plate". I made this piece replaceable to make it possible for different types of air blasts. Ash gate added. Small test fire! Side draft "super sucker" box. Designed for smokestack at 315mm, approx 12". The table assembled This is my solution for an air valve Valve attached with handle Next project is to mount the smokestack through the roof... Cheers!

wedwards Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Very nice. Except for the air gate it looks just like mine (I use a blow dryer with a dimmer). Let us know how the hood and chimney draws. That part of of mine is still a work in progress. Thanks for the well sized photos. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbe Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 Finally I managed to mount the chimney and I'm pretty happy with how it draws. With the 12" diameter pipe allot of air is sucked through and seems to keep the chimney surprisingly cool actually. No problem holding my hand near the base. I'm using coke, however with coal which is burning with lager flames could make the temperature rise a bit further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Looks to be working just like it should. If the smoke gets hotter it'll draw more strongly so it's a self adjusting situation. Frosty the Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
