UPDATE: I'm not building a burner, I am not adding a secondary blower and I will use a standard typical design.
I am leaning towards purchasing a T Rex 3/4, it would be nicer then anything I could build and someone else has put a lot of thought into it. Does anyone have one?
I am still considering different methods and designs for my forge.
Again, my goals start with tools I can use (tongs and so on), from there I want to move to blades and eventually weld patterned blades so I don't need anything too large.
The two basic designs I am interested in are the tank style, where a steel tank is lined with insulation , and the box style which I would build with fire brick or cast it and possibly line with a second layer of ceramic or wool or both.
Is there a preference when it comes to casting material? I guess I shouldn't be too concerned about the out layer insulation if I am going to use a wool, how is cast-o-lite?
Are all ceramic coatings comparable?
Thanks,
Ross
