How do I determine the depth of a forge for coke and coal? I work with these two coals because the availability here sometimes there is coke other coal

Mine is ~3 1/2- 4" deep, and I use coal.

What kind of coal? coking coal(blacksmith/metallurgical) or anthracite.  

To create a neutral/reducing heat, ~4" of coke under your work and 2" above will work, no matter what kind of forge you have. If you use coking coal, you should only have coke in your firepot, not uncoked coal.

This may be a language problem, not sure. What do you mean by blast forge? Got a picture? 

Might be thinking about a side blast forge.

could be a bottom blast forge as well.  Lol, that about covers the options,,,
