clinton Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I am finally replacing my fire pot as the one that was in my forge when i bought it was cracked right down the middle. I believe that this may have been the result of someone pouring too much water into the fire, I remember seeing Alferd Habermann cringe at the sight of a smith pouring a can of water over the fire, and this is why some of us have adopted the "water mop" I picked this fire pot up when i was in Memphis for the Abana conference. This fire pot is real heavy duty, much thicker than the one that was in there and much thicker than others that I have seen for sale, and Roger and his wife are great people. I want to thank John Mcclelland for bringing the fire pot and the rest of my goodies back to CA for me (saved a fortune on shipping) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3lbhammer Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Clinton, How thick is that new pot and what are the dimetions? I am amazed at how the old one even of cast can warp and twist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clinton Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 The fire pot measures 11x14 inches and it is 1 1/2 inches thick, this is a serious fire pot and the price was very reasonable, anyone that needs a fire pot should look into one of these, the time you mess around building a fire pot would probably equal what you will spend on this and one of these will last 100 times any thing that is mild steel.
