You are making me miss my Blast furnaces,
There is something about the smell of a Blast furnace, I still miss the smell after 16 years.
Nice work by the way.

Rick, My Dad & I built my 1st coke furnace over 40 yrs ago when there wasn't much info around & I had B Terry aspins book [the bible!!] & I use coke,because I'm used to it [& we allways have a couple of tons or more in for the rayburn] I've never bothered with propane, I use a gas fired furnace at work & it's convenient but coke does me & as you say it does smell good!! & it'll do iron too,popular opinion suggests you start as an amateur on gingerys solid fuel furnace then ''advance'' to propane well I guess I haven't ''advanced'' much, I might try colin pecks oil burner for cheapness in the future though.
