How many IFI'ers have vertical or upright gas forges, or have used one?
What are the benefits, if any, of an upright vs. a horizontal?
I have seen pictures of a few made from things like 5-gallon pony air tanks, 10-inch heavy wall pipe, etc. Usually, the burner is mounted near the bottom with an opening approximately 1/2 to 2/3's up the side of the tank. I am guessing that there is a corresponding opening on the opposite side of the tank for long stuff. Also, the top is usually hinged.
I have several tanks of various small sizes that I am wanting to experiment with. I am even tossing around the idea of making my own burners as well.
Any Ideas?
