ThomasPowers Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsagaz Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Well, mainly its for forge and do heat treatment with the same forge, but i think that its an waste of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonjic Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpacker Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Browne Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 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.
