I've been re-reading Forges 101 in preparation for my latest forge build. I have a decent propane tank tunnel forge -- 2" Kaowool; Satanite hardface; ITC-100 coating; Frosty T-burner at 2:00 o'clock, tangent to the inner face -- but I wanted to pimp out a new one with everything I've gleaned from here. I've been planning to mount the burner at 4:30 - 5:00 o'clock not only for the reason Mikey stated, but because it seems to me that such positioning would negate problems with chimney effect and hot exhaust gases mucking with air intake. So, I'm heartened to read Mikey's statement here.
Moving laterally a bit, I was recently in a commercial restaurant supply store and ran across a display of woks that went up to 30" (!!!) diameter. The thought ghosted through my mind that two woks and a ribbon burner might an easy clam shell forge make
