drgas Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I have a 2003 Forgemaster 50000 2 burner forge. It has been getting a lot of use lately. I have noticed that the front top of the door frame is burning away. Also the inside bottom and sides are pretty beat up. I think I need a "liner kit"? Has anyone done this job on a Forgemaster or similar forge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgas Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 By the way, does anyone know how to resize photos for posting? The pix I posted are "small" filesize but are huge when I view the post. I don't know how to adjust the size for optimal viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 The forum size is best at 640 x 480 x 72. You can go 800 x 600 x 72 for more detail. Many imaging programs will allow you to adjust the image to these numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironstein Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I haven't relined a forgemaster 5000, but i have relined my diamondback two burner, and it was easy. I also coated in itc to keep the flux damage down, seems to help it heat faster too. I'm sure blacksmith depot crries the re-line kits.

ironstein Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 You can use itc to coat the whole interior. it is supposed to help with durability, and heat reflection. Your reline kit should have come with a hard fire brick material for the floor. Depending on how much forge welding and flux you use, nothing really keeps the flux from eating the floor. Some people use a separate floor liner. Check out chile forge, they make a floor liner out of a high temp. tile, call it forge armour.
