VictusXIII

Sorry I should have mentioned that the inside is already setup with refractory etc.

The hole in the top for the burner is approx 1.75 inches.

Hi! So a few months ago I was expressing interest in blacksmithing and I really lucked out! I was given a forge that someone built about 15 years ago, and a little 110lb Anvil.

I've been doing some reading and quickly realized that the burner in this bad boy is not enough for the size of this monster.  I've bought a few things from the closest shop (about 4 hours away) and I'm looking at closing up the diameter of the forge, I just want to see if there is anything else I should be doing before I stuff this thing full of junk.

I have four fire bricks, the tub of Sairset and a 1ft by 2ft chunk of 1-inch think Kaowool.

This unit is 22.5CM across and 50CM Deep.

Also, I will be making a door for this monster as right now it just likes to pump a whole lot of heat out the front which I'm sure doesn't help with holding my internal temperatures.
