This is not a blast furnace OR a forge. This is a regular melting furnace.
Blast furnaces smelt ore. Forges heat metal(usually steel) to be worked.

I used this name, because in the Gingery books, its refered as a Blast Furnace. I think you are right a blast furnace needs ores and fluxes.

Cool. I was thinking on just making a hole in the ground for now. What do you use as a blower? A simple vac? I have one I got out of an upright that blows pretty hard but I will be using a home made bellows that may take a little longer but what the hell. How many times do you have to refill the charcoal (if at all) for that size crucible? Looks like a 16 oz. propane bottle there. Does it make smoke when its lit or smell like smoke at all?

Hi
I use a vacum as a blower. For air regulation, I made a hole in the hose that connects the vacum to the furnace. Then I added some tape to get the required air volume.
In a normal melt I refill de furnace once.
When the charcoal begins to burn, it makes some smoke. When its hot and running, it burns nice without smoke.
