I've got a forge with a champion hand-operated blower, recently acquired it at an antique shop and haven't had the time to use it but I'm gearing up for it. I built an extremely redneck engineered one a while back, used it at night due to the smoke it created.
The issue lies in the smoke, as I live in city limits (unfortunately) and they don't like open flames, well.. this has no "open" flame, to speak of - no more than a grill. I went to the fire dept, and they told me to get my setup done, call the fire marshall and have him inspect it for safety, thing is.. I don't want him to come with an attitude and tell me don't do it - and I sure as hell am not the type to even listen to them, they can't bark me around.
So, I was wondering, any ideas on controlling the smoke other than setting up an expensive vent systems?
