Subject: Charcoal Forge Flue enquiry

I have a industrial charcoal forge,that needs to be flued. I am interested to 
hear from other people with a charcoal  forge with regard to the dimensions 
and a descriptionof their flueing system. And how they stop the soot- fly ash 
>from  being blown up the chimney and setting fire to the neighborhood.
I didnt understand how coke or coal forges didnt have a similar problem until 
I saw my mates in Melbourne.There was  hardly any soot-fly ash at all.

In the summer here in Perth on the property that I am on there is definately 
a hire fire risk. I simply can not afford to have that problem arise. So at the 
moment the forge spews into the inside of my shed and creates a bit of a mess. 
All comments appreciated

[Perhaps you can switch from charcoal, which is always going to generate 
sparks, to clinker coal, which generates a gooey "clinker" instead. Or 
convert to natural or LP gas, which is the cleanest of all.]
