Sword Coal Forge uneven air flow

Hi all,

I am looking for some advice on a coal forge for swords with regards to the wind channel.



I am almost done. Overall length in a little bit over 40 inch, and the wind channel in 2x2 inch.

I have a problem when I tested the wind channel to see if the blower that I've got is strong enough. It is strong enough, but the problem is with the air feeding in from the one side, the flow of air only starts blowing out halfway to the end of the channel. No air blows out in the beginning. When I block off half of the holes on the furthest side, the air seems to balance.

A question: Any idea if the air will balance out once I put the coal on? If not, does anybody have another solution for me to fix this, short off having to completely redesign and putting the air in from the middle?

Any help will be much appreciated.
