DanielC Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 Uhm, well the stack is built. The only other thing to show is us loading ore and charcoal every 10 or so minutes for 4 hours, lol. Positioning of the tuyure at relatively precise angle and height from floor is important, but wouldnt be shown in a vid. We will see. When I get there in the a.m., around 9am we start the pre-heat to dry any moisture from the air for about 30min., then we load with charcoal to burn down some, the start the loading process of ore and charcoal. Running a smelter is like getting a feel for the smelter. The different sounds and the speeding up and slowing down of burn times are all indicators of what is going on inside, and what you need to do. Hard to catch on film, really. Better to hop on a plane to NC to experience Usually our stack from floor to top is around 38-40" tall. This time we're going to like 4'.
