We meant to answer Cathy's meme weeks ago, but we we were unexpectedly busy the past couple of weeks.
This is Rich from The Bloomery, and I wanted Kathy to answer the meme, since her mom is the florist (Chris from Crighton's Florist and Greenhouses), but I have some pretty good answers, too.
Our great dog Abbie was adopted from the Butler County Humane Society, and we're thrilled to be a part of their upcoming Fur Ball fundraiser on April 27.

Bloomery(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
A bloomery is a furnace in which iron ore is smelted and from which metallic iron is produced.
The primary fuel in ancient bloomeries was charcoal (burnt wood or reeds).
Well, the bloomery takes advantage of the fact that heat rises, so if the bottom of the bloomery is sealed tight to prevent oxygen from coming in, then as the heat rises through the top of the furnace, no oxygen from outside will be able to enter, thereby allowing the reducing process to take place).
And at the center of that village was the ironfurnace.
“Bloomery was chosen as a site for an ironfurnace because it offered water and elevation behind the furnace to keep the water flowing.
The ore was mined from the mountains surrounding Bloomery and then loaded onto trolley cars, which were pulled by horses and mules over wooden rails, a distance of about 1 ½ miles.
Beginning in medieval times, the bloomery was gradually supplanted by the blast furnace process, also referred to as indirect reduction.
The blast furnace operated on a larger scale and at higher temperatures, and produced molten cast iron, which had to be further refined by eliminating carbon and reintroducing slag to create wrought iron.
At this early stage, we tend to use a fairly gentle blast, increasing it during the course of the smelt.
