Description
INSTALLATION
The forced draft option includes upgraded domed cast iron grates and an electric blower. If the Forced Draft Kit is ordered at the same time as the Corsair Arch, then the blower will come factory installed on the arch. Otherwise, if you order the arch as conventional draft, the back of the Corsair firebox will include a perforated knock out and mounting studs so that the Forced Draft Kit can be easily added at any time in the future. If the time comes when you need more performance, just remove the knock out, mount the blower and replace the steel grates with the kit’s new perforated, domed cast iron grates.

I ran my Corsair without forced draft for 2 seasons and adding this system has REALLY amped up the boil rate. Wow! The cast iron grates are bullet proof too.

I bought the blower and dome kit for my 2×5 Cosair Arch with a hybrid pan, this unit has very low cfm. While it makes a slight difference in the burn rate it does not perform well on under-seasoned wood. I have retained the domes in the fire box but removed the blower and patched the square opening in the back of the arch. I found the domes do a good job of dispersing air into the fire box. I found using a 3 speed 1/2 horse power floor dryer fan set on 2 with the ash door propped open to give a much better boil / evaporation rate.

The “Ash Door” that you are leaving open is actually a Natural Draft Door. When using Natural Draft, that door will be open. Conversely, when using a Blower, that door needs to be closed. If you have the Natural Draft door open when using a blower, the air cannot properly flow upward into the firebox as it was designed. So to allow max performance of your Smoky Lake blower, simply close the draft door. This simple change will yield impressive results.
