thanks for all the replies people, but so happens that someone i work with has some ideas and is going to help me put together a coal forge pretty soon here no galvy metal or anything haha. Ill post pics up when finished

Hi all. New here and new to everything having to do with blacksmithing. I have a question i have looked into building a washtub forge and only thing i could come up with was a galvanized washtub. I know about the zinc in the tub is bad but if the tub has a thick wall of refractory cement will it even get hot enough to release the zinc from the galvanized tub? anyway thanks in advance and i have already learned a lot from this site.
