SMELTFEST 08 - Experiment Notes

The rough layout used for the three main smelts I was involved in at SMELTFEST 08 is seen below:

There was some variation on the placement of the bellows plate and the set up of the tuyere on each of the three smelts.

The experimental data for each of the three smelts has been formatted up and posted to the Wareham Forge iron smelting series:

I will be writing up a description of each of these smelts, with some images attached over the next week or so.
