I will most definitely.  I have a feeling im going to like you.

Oh yeah.. As for the forge and the metal. The hopper in the middle drops down about 6 inches. The steel still had a good 3 - 4 inches of coal between it and the pipe. I also wanted to ask.. 

Yesterday I cut a window on the side so I could fit longer stock in it but when i bent the flap down, the refractory cracked. There really isn't a gap but the crack goes all the way through. Do you think it is still safe to fire? The refractory is about 8 inches at it's thickest and 4 at Its thinnest.

Understandable. I would go for gas if I could. I have a flame thrower that I could modify I just can't afford the btu's. Coal makes my wallet happy.

Thank for the tips
