Timothy Miller Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I need a new fire pot. My old centaur forge pot burnt out after a day of forge welding. It had been on its way out for a wile. I want a as big and heavy duty as i can get. I plan on doing some large forge welding with wrought iron 2" square t welds to be exact. I would rather not have to build something.

Fe-Wood Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 lorence firepots are, IMHO the very best. He doesn't have a wbsite as far as I know... There should be a thread talking about them with contact info here on IFI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swedefiddle Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Good Morning, John Newman at Newman Forge & Pattern in Hamilton Ontario has the BEST fire-pots. They are about 1 1/2" thick, VERY HEAVY! BEST does not equal cheapest. Neil Gustafson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K. Bryan Morgan Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 http://www.centaurforge.com/Firepots/products/167/ Centaur Forge has 6 different types in stock. Square, Round, with sliding or dumping ash gates. Prices seem very reasonable to me compared to other sites I've looked at. Personally I use a break drum. It was free. Free is always good. Oops, didn't see that you were replacing a Centaur forge fire pot till I reread your post. My bad. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Browne Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 If you are getting into really/fairly heavy hot work why not build your own pot out of fire bricks. Or does your forge have to be portable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtWerkz Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I have a Centaur forge fire pot also, I ordered the "heavy duty coke firepot" and I am very happy with it. It's a heavy sucker with dumping ash gate and a clinker breaker. No complaints as yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy Miller Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 This is a stationary forge in a professional shop. I am not sure I want to go the break drum rout as the don't seem to be that thick. I am also not big on the whole improvised thing when the real deal is available. Is the j Newman the same one they sell at the blacksmiths depot? That looked like a pretty serious fire pot. Thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtWerkz Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Seems a bit small for my needs I did look at that. It's about 14-15 inches across at the top and 3-4 inches deep from the clinker breaker up in a nice bowl shape which I like. Let us know.

JNewman Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Just got back from a weekend ice fishing. Yes the Blacksmith Depot firepot is the one I produce. I sell all the blacksmith tools I make through them in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Miller Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Yes but I am in New York and according to some people that is not part of real America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Coke firepots are usually much heavier built than coal firepots. I'd go with one of them if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
