How To Make A Bladesmiths Forge

Step 2 Constructing the tuyere

Now we will construct the tuyere. The tuyere is a pipe that delivers an air blast from a blower to the fire that allows the charcoal to heat faster. We will need black iron pipe 1 1/2" diameter that is just a little longer than the length of your grill. We will also need a 1 foot section of 2" black iron, a 2 - 1 1/2 reducer coupling, and a 1 1/2 end cap. Now we will put the 2 inch pipe into the reducer and screw it on. Now we will screw in our 1 1/2 inch pipe into the reduce. Now we losely screw the cap on. The cap is to allow for easy clean out. Now we drill holes in the pipe every inch about 1/4 inch or a little less. Remember the more holes you have, the more oxygen to fuel the fire but, also the bigger a blower you need.
