SOLUTION: In the blast furnace 12, the shell openings 7 to be formed in the shell 5 are provided in a direction nearly parallel to the direction of extension of the support pipes 8 provided to the cooling plate 2 which is set inside the shell 5. The cooling plate 2 can be set inside the blast furnace 12 by providing the support pipes 8 to the shell openings 7 in such a way that the pips 8 are inserted into the openings 7.
