I appreciate the advice from everyone. I just got a pint of itc-100 to coat the inside of the chamber and I hope that improves my heat.
I was also thinking of adding a blower (although that seems counter to what Andrew is saying above). I have blocked off one side of the forge when working small stock, but i still cant get to forge welding heat. I have even tried closing up the front openning and only allowing a small apeture for air, but no luck. I have an old a/c with a busted compressor and I can take out the front blower, box it, and put a variable resistor on it to control the out put. Has anyone worked with something like that before?
