How do most of you vent your forge that work indoors...say garage in the winter? DO I need an exhaust system that pulls how much CFM? Hood over?
 
A properly adjusted propane forge doesn't release much more than CO2 and water vapor.An open window or cracked door should allow enough fresh air flow.That said ,the term "properly adjusted" is a factor.I would have a CO detector in the garage to be safe.Most of the time makers open the garage door while working .The forge will heat it up pretty well in there.I use a propane fired turbo heater (forced air) set just outside the door to send hot air into the shop while working in the winter.It is always a good rule to never have any large burner going in a closed room.I would rather wear a down vest than get suffocated.
