i built the buners and welded the burner tubes today

i thought about the the seam in the kaowool exposing some of the forge body on the inside. i might try to instal the wool in one piece to better insulate it. we'll see. it's my first one so i'm sure i'm going run into design flaw. thanks again for the info.

i got a little time last night and put a door on there and was going to build the burners, then my propane tank for the heat ran out and it was about 10 degrees in chicago ( felt more like 1 degree 'cause i was drinking beer) here's some pics. thanks

i live on the northwest side of chicago. i figured i should install a swinging front door, but didn't want to do the extra work. but i'm going install the swinging door. thanks for your help!!!! won't be another week or so before i get in the garage to work on it again, but i'll keep the progress updated. thanks again.

i'm building my first forge and have a few questions. i'm using a standard 20# propane tank, i cut my openings front and back which are 8" x 3". i was wondering if i will be able to line the inside with kaowool thru these opening and be able to line it correctly, or do i need to cut a swinging front door to easly access the inside of the forge. also, i was wondering if anybody had any recommendations whether i should use one burner or two. i am only interested in forging, no welding ( i like my mig and tig welders) i am also open to any suggestions on what you see. thanks in advance.
