Nik Hintz Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 With the arrival of a half ton of coke, my fuel choice has been made... Now I just need to build something to burn it in. So far, the only aspects of the design I am reasonably set on are the basic materials, (mostly because I already have them)which are as follows: steel for the shell and structure, 2600 degree kaowool for the back up insulation, and a 3000 degree high alumina castable for the lining. However, I have not been able to find any plans on the web, so once again, I call on your collective knowledge. what I am looking for is something that I can put in the back of a truck if I need to (needing 2 people to lift it is not ideal, but ok) I am leaning toward a linear fire rather than a single round tuyer, and it will most likely have an electric blower. Any help would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be great. If you go to our Guilds website www.blacksmithsguild.com and send me a personal email on the courses link, I will send you some details in an attachment that will give you all the info and pics required for making a bottom blast forge. This design is light enough to lift on your own, we use them for forging competitions and show demonstrations. You do not need insulation or kaowool in a solid fuel forge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
