Ok got my forge set up with brick 'Doors' which helped to get my first successful test burn and heated a little rebar to see where my temp was i still get an occasional "chimney fire that blows right out and improves and temp comes up in forge but still very unsettling and with the flame "spill out the end i did lose some beard leaning in to puff out the flame should i add a "roof brick at each end to clean up the convection around the venturi?
I know i am still not in the category where these posts should be but i will work on refining my 'behavior' in the future, meanwhile thanks for the assist from each of you it has been helpful and supportive
