Thanks for all the answers and input, I see the pros and cons. The only reason I want to try is because I have all the components to build one. I will try a small one and report back with the findings.

Good afternoon , Jorge here in Tucson with my first post, let me know if I am at the right place. I have a question about making a Freon tank (or something similar) forge but with a carbon torch being the source for the heat. I have never used a torch but it seems that it puts out a lot of  heat. The torch would come from the bottom and be controlled with your foot. Do you guys think it could work? The tank will be lined and refractory applied. I do have a gas forge at this time but not using a lot. Thank you all for your input.
