hi... can anyone tell me what the best way to get kawool to stick to the inside of a forge?... the main part isnt hard because gravity kinda keeps it in but im having trouble on my doors they open vertically) any help would be appreciated thanks picture does not have wool in it now just showing how the doors work..

so here is my first forge i ever made after I failed to make a reil burner correctly just needs some kawool and itc and should be good to go thanks everyone for the newbie help

thanks for all the reply's.... i do have a regulator and am running it on tests at 5psi i have a tap and die set and some mig tips to try next... i was just trying to get the origional desing to work. but it seams that my suspicions are correct that the hole was in fact too big =P i live in the grand rapids area of michigan and i build the forge on the side when i have time ( currently employed as a machinist 60hrs/wk) thank you all for giving me such quick insite ill try some new things and try to upload some pics when i get time

hi im new to blacksmithing and want to get into it. i recently made the ron reil burner and it seems to be working fine outside the forge ( tested holding on to it in a vice) but when i put it in my forge to test it ( 7 gal air tank) the burner kinda sputters and just throws a soft feathery flame. any ideas on what is causeing this. i was thinking maybe the hole i drilled for the gas was a little big... only had a .062 drill and it may of wandered a bit hole is more closer to .100" now... any help would be appreciated since i have no oe around me that i know of to bounce ideas off from... ill try to post some pictures asap
