imagedude Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 4 of these firepots were imported to the UK from the USA about 25 years ago. The blacksmith who imported them wanted a lifetimes supply but only managed to burn one out over the 25 year period. I have the remaining 3. They are about 1.5 inches thick.

Sam Thompson Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 So that's what they were! I bought a job lot of tools etc. about 20 years ago and there were 5 or 6 of those included; no-one knew what they were and eventually the scrap bloke took them.

ThomasPowers Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Hope you got a good price; they go for a lot of money buying them new over here! Say 50 - 90 Euros apiece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Einhorn Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Here is a photograph of my Buffalo Forge firepot. You will notice that the firepot says Buffalo Forge cast into it. Also I don't think that Buffalo Forge had a rib of cast iron across the air inlet. There were a number of brands of firepot that looked sort of similar. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Thompson Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 No, I gave them away... I thought they were something to do with drains! Bottom blast forges are rare in this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
