Firepots

[ApprenticeMan]

Is there any othe rplaces than Centaur(www.centaurforge) to get a nice firpot? I know you can make one easily, and get "great deals" on ebay, but I am looking to JUST BUY ONE, thanks.

Blacksmith Depot has them as I recall . Think it's about 280 for firepot, clinker breaker and Tuyere.

Sam:

Try ZELLAR/PEOT FIREPOTS LIMITED EDITION 1 as there are several to choose from there.

This is Bob Cruikshank's site. The contact info is on the bottom of the page.

COOL! Exactly what I was looking for. Any other sites that offer firepots? I like that little round portable one, THAT IS COOL! Has anyone had any expeirience with a firepot from Kayne's or Zellar? Centaur seems the cheapest, I am wondering if the extra cost is worth it.

Honest Bob sells a firepot he has cast on his own patterns, both round and square. Contact him or Old Moose.

Centaur's 12" round pot is a very good one. I put one in a forge I restored for a historical organization and it makes a great fire - so good, I bought another one for my personal portable forge.

How is using a round firepot compared to using a square one? I have only used square(or no firepot, rivet forge). WHat kind of things are done differently with a round one? Do they use more fuel (roughly) than a square? Can you still get longer sections hot(like going diagonally across a square shape)?

Not much difference, they basically build a fire the same way and don't consume any more or less fuel for a similar size.

You could also build a side blast with a piece of pipe and save yourself the money of a patent pot.
