I using a brake drum forge at the moment. I want to build a new forge come spring. But a cast iron fire pot is not in the buget. I have 1/2'' plate torches and a welder. Will a steel fire pot hold up? Also will the steel pot effect my forge welds? Thanks for the help...TC

    I've used a 3/8" thick steel plate fire box for six years with no signs of deterioration. I guess 1/2" will survive at least as well. My forge welds are not always successful but I'm not blaming my fire box. Go for it.
