Tips

memory
Build it from the parts: (to drum/blow) + (wind) + (furnace) - literally 'wind-blowing furnace', i.e. forced-air furnace. In modern industrial Chinese, the more usual term is 高炉 (lit. 'tall furnace') for a steel-mill blast furnace; 鼓风炉 covers the broader category and historical/smaller furnaces.
