Good job, but what you actually have here is a cupola furnace , crucible furnace or a forge. Blast furnaces take ore and "reduce" metal such as iron from the ore. Your type of furnace is similar to a foundry furnace. To get it to melt(reduce) Iron from ore, I'd put in more fuel, large tuyeres (air injectors) and use an electric leaf blower for blast. But it it is good for what you do with it such as melting aluminum or other non ferrous metals.

Actually, it's really a forge or a crucible furnace or a "cupola" furnace used in remelting existing metal such as scrap iron & steel . You can melt non ferrous metals such as aluminum in a forge. A blast furnace is similar, but takes raw ore and "reduces" the metal such as iron from it. But it works good for what you made it to do. So good job. If you wanted to melt iron, I'd use larger tuyeres and, more fuel and an electric leaf blower for "blast".
