Propane Bottle Forge Build
I dont want to give up but yes I figured out that i drilled my orfise holes to large so to much propane is going in, amd also my burners are at an angle so I'd have to recast the enture roof which will cost about 100 dollars and the plistix to recoat it is anouther 10, and then redoring my burner assembly is more And I have see a forge I'm looking at that one of the blacksmiths in the NCABANA organizations makes sells them for 450, it has 2 layers of insulation with a layer of refractory in between each layer and it is a clam shell forge design with 2 burners
