The two that interest me the most are the one sold by jm_enterprises99 ans the one sold by looper567. I guess one of my main question is the difference in insulation material used. Is the liner of ceramic better than the kaowool or firebrick? V zim

I am interested in buying a small gas forge and have been looking at the one they sell on Ebay. Is there any advice or suggestion as to the overall quality of any of these? Anyone out there that owns one that has any opinions about them would be appreciated. I have been wanting to make my own but due to some recent heath issues and deciding it is better to be learning to smith than it is to be "going to build" a forge. I am new at blacksmithing. I have started to take some lessons but due to the amount of people in the class and the fact that some of the others in the class were quite young and impatient I became frustrated with my work being burned up due to them cranking the blowers at full speed I discontinued the class. So I have been doing some reading and just want to get started. Thanks Vzimmer
