Which outcome results when charcoal iron-making furnaces are built too tall without sufficient forced air?

💡 Explanation

When a charcoal iron-making furnace is built too tall, inadequate forced air causes incomplete combustion because oxygen cannot reach all fuel, limiting the reduction of iron ore. Therefore, incomplete ore reduction results, rather than other outcomes which require different furnace conditions and chemical balances.
