	Too much negative pressure in the smithy and the smoke comes down
the chimney instead of up.

So your future house is a pole barn?   As far as keeping smith dust from 
migrating to the rest of the house/pole barn,  one options is to run a 
big ventillation fan to create a low pressure zone in the smithy.   Good 
for a number of reasons, the least of which is migration of dust to the 
rest of the house.   Most of my migration issues are due to a twenty 
year old son that doesn't have the sense to shake the dust off before
heading into the house.  In the summer I can get a pretty well defined 
soot trail that runs from the forge to the refrigerator.   He can run 
the tanks and the fridge dry in an afternoon of smithing.
