Most of them are linked to a forge plan, but some you have to look in the website because they actually have more then one plan.

Frankly I know of nobody using a gas forge that they can control the temperature of electrically. Though there are some heat treat ovens you can do that with.

What is it that you need to accomplish?

[samsagaz]

Well, mainly its for forge and do heat treatment with the same forge, but i think that its an waste of money.

My big gasser was controlled electrically. It had a ?pid? controller, thermocouple and solenoid gas / air valve. You just typed in top and bottom temp ranges (say 900deg - 1000 deg C) , and it shut off the gas and air at the top value, and opened it again at the bottom value (re-igniting from the already hot forge)

Worked really well, but I junked the forge in the end, it was to big, and hard brick lined so it took an hour + to get going. Amazing how much work you can get from a small wool lined forge!

Thanks too much i really will build an small forge, using an small gas tank (the one that are used in Car Air Condition.

Shameless Bump. I too am looking to build a gas forge to replace my coal forge. I don't need any thing as simple as the zeller forge, as I have a great welding rig and ability to work with just about anything. But his plans are a pretty simple way to get up and running.

I just found this plan here on the blueprints section, and it looks like exactly what I want to build. 10" 3/8 walled pipe for body. Only issue would be fullering the burner pipe, but I figure I can heat it with an oxy torch and pound it out on a rail.

I'm curious, had anybody heard of using an old hot water heater tank for the forge body? I've got one sitting around, that I was going to use as a solar hot water heater, but went with a better design.

Thanks in advance!

My thoughts on the water heater is that you may end up with a rather large forge which will take a lot to heat if you aren't working on big stuff. My friends who use gassers have more than one, most have a coffee can forge, a larger single burner and some have big forges. All for different projects, and because they like making them.
