Yup that ceramic dust is nasty

DC:
That might explain all the colours too.

Yorec:
Another common issue with these kind of forges is if you used galvanized fitting to link things together... Just made it, right?
If it’s a part of the forge - that galvanization, when it cooks off, can prove pretty nasty too. Simple fix is take it outside where there’s no question of the air being free and breezy and fire it up good n hot for a while - stay clear of it while the galvanization burns off.  Then it should be ok.


Good luck - fun stuff ahead!
