Well, I'm in the same boat, except my fuel ran out, and I'm not gonna buy more for a while... I have a friend who's putting together a propane forge for me, but until that's done, I'm out of a forge. I just burned the last of my charcoal trying to do a faggott weld. I had a hard time keeping my fire hot enough 'cause the ash kept clogging up the blower screen. I'm gonna get some coal in a month or so, but I don't know if that will make a difference in my airflow consistency. I guess if it's got a lot of ash, I'll have the same problem. Anyways, I only have that problem with the charcoal when it's getting down to that last bits and pieces, so we'll see.
So I got the weld to stick halfway twice, but I couldn't get it to stick through the wholejoint. I'm assuming it's because I couldn't get the whole joint at the same temperature 'cause I only had a small part of my fire that was hot. So here I sit, eating my ice cream, looking forward to the new forge and new possibilities.
