Hello all
I am new to blacksmithing.
I have an old bbq that i was planning on converting to a forge, i have put some pictures below.
At the bottom is a hole which was used to brush the charcoal through once it had been used.
My plan was to clean it out and put clay around the inside as im not sure if the metal is good enough to withstand the heat.
With the hole at the bottom, i was going to use this for my air flow. However, one concern i have is used charcoal falling into the tubing.
Has anyone ever converted one of these to a forge. Any advice/tips would be appreciated.
