I already have the kaowool to line a multi-burner (ordered extra when I did my forge), and would make the burner's myself, for little expense. Overall, maybe $100 out of pocket (not including what I already have part-wise). A salt setup would push me way over that. Unless you have some sources that I don't know about. Unless I could do a salt setup for $250 or less, probably not going to happen for awhile.
Member here Garey Ford has built a high temp salt pot for cheaper than that, probably his high and low temp setups are both together cheaper than that, I'll see If I can get him to put his input in. Even if for a little bit more, then benefits FAR outweigh the little bit more cash. But if you are going to go for a forge style, go with the 55 gallon drum forge that Don Fogg uses, still MUCH more even heat than a multi burner forge, only requires one burner, a 55 gallon drum and some insulation(like what you already have).

GAREY WHERE ARE YAH!!?!??! GAREY FORD, PAGING GAREY FORD.
