This is Sir Cupola, a iron casting furnace. Sometimes his tuyeres get clogged up with molten iron. This can be remedied using a steel rod. Luckily, Sir Cupola has removable ears and nose like a Mr. Potato Head. He has since retired from his many years of service and enjoys an easier life as a sculpture.
LOLOL....."It's coming out!!!!" and I heard a "God damn it!" at least twice. Those iron pours are always so exciting. I miss them.
