mike muzzarelli Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Awhile ago I bought a Champion forge. The pan is 2feet by 3feet and weighs a ton. My question is do I need to line this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hammer Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 If it weighs a ton, probably not. Any pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 You may want to line it so that the floor is level with the cutouts on the sides of the firepot---firebrick laid flat was about the right height for mine. Simple job using a bit of fireclay was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Falzone Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 The picture below is a box-style forge I made for my Norse reenactment group. It runns on charcoal and is a side-blast. I want to cover over the firebrick and line the inside of the firepot - raise the floor of the pot by 1 - 1.5 inches. What kind of refractory cement would work best? I want something durable that won't crack or flake off. Any suggestions? :confused: :confused: :confused: Hmmm ... seems like I still can't load thumbnails. The forge is a simple plank box that is lined with 2 layers of soft firebrick. The firebox is 12"x12"x4" deep. Hope that helps. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mount'neer Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I hope that hopping in here is permissible, my question and situation is similar to Mike's. I've a small round forge w/Champion blower, 20 inches in diameter with what appears to be a consistent thickness of about one-half inch; no "fire pot" if I understand the term correctly. It is stamped with the clay before using instruction. I'm figuring I need to clay it to be on the safe side; at a half-inch thick would y'all concur?
