Guest Johnnie Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Hi guys, I have recently bought a used Flamefast ceramic chip gas forge (cheap on ebay). Fired it up with Propane and took ages to get to temperature and eats gas for fun! So I have converted it to coal by adding a table top, chimney and pulling all the gas bits off. The thing I'd not thought of and became apparent after lighting it up is the ceramic burner plate is going to get blocked with Clinker. What gauge steel plate would be suitable to replace the ceramic fire pot? 1/4'' - 6mm?? Also and ideas on forging a clinker breaker? Will add some photos ASAP. Thanks for looking. Quote
Drewed Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 The thicker the steel, the longer it will last. I'd use 1/4" as the minumum size, 3/8 or 1/2 would be better. Quote
Guest Johnnie Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 This the problem with the Ceramic fire pot. This is the clinker after 20 mins of forging and its stick on like sh*t to a blanket.Is the new base of the pot and the old ceramic surround. Excuse the welding!! Almost ready to go!! Quote
