Using that hand crank did not last long though, we eventually took an old broke shop vac, hooked it up backwards and used that as our blower. Philip

Only reason I say I don't know what it is, is because I doubt anyone would purposely make clinkers. Then I collected orange iron bacteria from the creek (iron oxide), mixed it with charcoal powder (carbon to reduce oxide to metal) and wood ash (flux to lower the melting point) and formed it into a cylindrical brick. I filled the furnace with charcoal, put the ore brick in and commenced firing. The ore brick melted and produced slag with tiny, 1mm sized specs of iron through it. My intent was not so much to make iron but to show that the furnace can reach a fairly high temperature using this blower. He was purposely trying to make slag just to show that the fire got hot enough to melt a primitive iron "ore." (My rough interpretation of what was stated.) Slag and clinkers are both words that just describe byproducts of this type of high temperature firing. Philip
