[TheForge] CHIMNEY?S?

[R.C.Mundt]

I have a 12" stovepipe on a side draft hood  on my coal forge, works great ,
my building is about the same size as yours.
I'de shy away from fan's , I put up w/ a fan for 20 years it only took about
80% of the smoke , so always had the door open, and was like having an
airplane running in the shop.
Chimneys work like this more fire, more heat, more draft to take away more
smoke, fans move the same amount of air no matter how big the fire is.
