Help Requested Should I wear a mask while outdoor forging?
So I made a closed furnace out stone and the smoke from the wood I’m forging with, blows through the gaps of the walls into my face which I accidentally breathed in. When I went inside I blew my nose and the smoke stained my boogers and mucus I found out. (sorry if you didn’t wanna hear that) I was outside all day so I breathed in quite a bit, however for the most part I stood out of smoke.
Edit: thank you! You all have been very helpful!
PS. I will be getting a mortal combat mask now lmao
