DarkMamba

its affordabble, 5000 idr per kilos,but it runs out so fast so i am not too keen on it

well, the product is advertized as a trash burner so i don't think its galvanized Thank you again for the explanation Mr Frosty, and thank you iron dragon forge and Mr George N. M. the ammount and quality of advice i am getting is trully incredible, thank you everyone.

ah, i should have thought about that, my bad, i live in indonesia, thats why everything that seems cheap to some is so expensive for me. but i have found a cheap 20 liters iron trashcan that only costs 35k idr, or around 2 us dollar, wich is an affordable price for me.,its 10 times cheaper and 10 times smaller so its reasonable in a way. also Mr. Frosty, may i ask where to put the exhaust? should i put it on top or underneath? and thank you too Mr. JHCC, i will surelly account for this when designing the forge

Thank you Mr Frosty, sadly i do not have such easy access to steel drums, in fact its quite expensive for me,even if it is a used/old steel barrel. as for a steel bucket, its a liittle bit more affordable, although i don't know what i should use as the lid and what to clamp it with,i will surely take your input into account when i manage to find the right lid and clampers for it. Thank your very much.

As of now, i don't think i know how to turn bamboo or any wood into charcoal,from what i searched, it is said i would need a kiln, wich i don't really have the budget to buy/make,moreover turning the bamboo into charcoal would need more fuel for the kiln, wich is exactly what i am trying to avoid. but other than that, thank you for your advice and input on this, it really helped.

I am planning to make a small scale forge using bamboo as fuel, the reason why iam keeping it small is because i am kinda broke, and also to better keep in the heat, thus making it more fuel efficient,hopefully. i need any sort of sugestion or advice in making this said forge,as i am merely a beginer in forging
