I can get the smell of burning coal and coke with the forge, I bought some petro-coke, it's too fine for a cupola so when I get the forge going I put a shovel full in the coal.

my sinus are pretty messed up Goaly, but from what I can remember of yesterday once the exhaust temp passes about 1500 degrees and your not running fuel rich there really isn't any smell except that of the hot iron,

Now dirt after its been up to around 1500 degrees then cooled back down to around 350 just flat out stinks like day old dog crap, and won't grow sh%t.
