Coke furnace

Hello,

I'm planning to build a coke furnace at home but I cannot find any good plans on the internet, does anyone have a coke furnace at home and would be willing of sharing a photo of it or even better a direct plan.? I would be using it to heat metal - binding iron to make some tools for casting. The furnace would be perfect if it look something like this: http://www.tamabi.ac.jp/kougei/equipment/img/metal/04/image-5.jpg

looks like an updraft, there are probably some plans on the web, just look up Blacksmiths Forums, there are quite a few different ones I believe.

HOME COKE FURNACE FUEL

WHERE WOULD YOU GET THE FUEL FOR THE COKE FURNACE? THERE ARE VERY FEW COKE MAKING OPERATIONS IN NORTH AMERICA STILL STANDING AND NONE ARE BEING BUILT BECAUSE OF EPA REGULATIONS.

Try checking out another

Try checking out another forum called I Forge Iron. There are several sets of forge building discussions there. As for Coke you are not going to need 5 tons. Chances are you can find a blacksmith in the area who knows of a source.
