I decided to try designing a fire pot for my eventual coal/coke forge and I'm not sure if my clinker breaker design will cut the mustard. Does anyone have any input on if this design will work or experiences with a similar design?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Jason

If I was building a forge, I would go with a side blast and not worry about clinkers blocking my airflow. I have a vintage cast iron bottom blast forge, and I can see the advantages of the side blast every time I use it.
