Outside, Come on inside and warm yourself up by the forge and get some iron hot. Welcome to IFI! If you want a gas fired forge, charcoal or coal there will be the information you need to build whatever type you want here. Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you everybody. I will be using charcoal as my fuel because it is readily available and I don't like gas. The brake drum forge looks tempting but I might just weld up my own design. Narrow and deep? How deep is too deep? I would also like to use compressed air from my air compressor as my source of air, what do you think?

From what I have read I think the firepot needs to be pretty shallow. Too deep and the fire has a hard time getting to the right temperature I think. I am new to this so I could be very wrong.

Also, isn't compressed air explosive?

What is the optimum depth? The compressed air comes from a compressor through a long hose and is easily regulated. I use the air to get my charcoal bbq going and it works amazingly. I doubt it is explosive, unless of course you were to heat up the tank.
