[TheForge] Lighting your forge on purpose.

[Dave Mudge]

Lon, that is how I always did it also.  and since I was using a big
side draft chimney, once the coal began to smolder I would then put
the torch flame into the side draft and ignite the smoke there. That
action would act as a primer to get the side draft going. Worked
great.
