[TheForge] flue pipe temperatures

[Jerry Frost]

You have a few options:

You can make a side draft and maybe get away with a 8" stack.

You can try moving the hood closer to the fire, though this'll make more 
cramped working conditions.

Put the booster as high in the stack as you can.

Oh yeah, make sure you have enough makeup air in the shop. No matter how 
well a stack draws if there isn't enough makeup air it'll depressurize the 
shop till it hits equilibrium. This isn't good.

it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
