Thanks for clearing that up.

New member here...I have been reading on here for a few weeks now. I am in the process of collecting the parts and pieces to build a forge in the next few months. My first plan of attack is practice then building my self some basic tools to use. I have read many of the forge building posts here and can't seem to answer the following question... Mant posts say a 10"-12" brake drum is too small and has no extra fuel capacity but a large {lets say 18"} truck drum is too large. A Centaur C-36 forge has a 8"x10"x4" bowl (smaller than a medium brake drum), is this forge too small also? These all seem to be contradictory statements, what am I missing.
