My forge's airflow adjustment habit finally paid off with a cleaner burn

I started cracking the door open a bit while heating, and now my coal use is down with steadier temperatures.

Insisted on a full seal, but your airflow adjustment proves otherwise.

But what if the airflow adjustment isn't about breaking the seal, but managing pressure? Ever considered that the "full seal" might be dynamic under different conditions?

Honestly, @brianhill, is this seal debate even that serious?

Wait, so you're saying the door crack helps more than a perfect seal? How much of a gap are we talking here? Like just enough to slide a coin through, or more? And does it change based on what you're heating up?
