[TheForge] Need Champion tuyere

[David E. Smucker]

Peter,  If you don't have to have a "historical" one you can make one with 
ease from a weld tee use for piping.  A 4 inch tee with a 3 inch branch 
works very well.  You weld a flange to the top to match the fire pot and 
weld an ash dump on the bottom.  The 3 inch branch then becomes the air in 
take.

Are you missing the clinker breaker for the fire pot?

Back after being off line all summer.  Keziah's Forge is opening at a new 
location in a couple of weeks.  Details to follow soon.  In the meantime, I 
am looking for a tuyere, prefereably a Champion, to hook my No. 400 blower 
to the existing firepot in the old brick forge in the "new" shop.   I am in 
eastern Massachusetts, but will be traveling to Vermont next week.  Also 
willing to pay shippng for the right equipment.  Thanks for any leads
