stovestoker Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I was looking at yucaipa valley forge site and saw that they have a fire pot and blower set up for.200 shipped. Has anyone ever dealt with them? Seems like a fair price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I've not heard of them before, but looking at the photos doesn't give me any red flags. The only think I don't like is the blower. I have a really hard time believing a blower of that size will last any length of time on a forge. I could be wrong, and hope that I am. Drop them an email to find out how thick the pot's wall is. You want at least .5" - any thinner and it's not worth the money. When I get things settled here, I'll definitely have to look into getting one of their fire pots.

stovestoker Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 I emailed and this is the response:" Yes they are still available, The pots are 3/4 inch on the bottom and 1/4 inch on the top". Seems a little thin on the top. The pics look more like half inch. But only ordering one will tell. 200 shipped seems ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 If they mean the lip is only 1/4", that's fine by my reckoning. Though, I do agree that the photos sure make the lip look thicker than a quarter inch. Another option..... http://www.centaurforge.com/Centaur-12-Round-Mini-Firepot-with-Sliding-Ashgate/productinfo/MS/ It's a few dollars more, but the confidence in quality and service might be worth it.

PaulKrzysz Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 All of the Centaur Pots are 3/8'' thick with the exception of the "Coke" firepot, which is 3/4''. Contact Roger Lawrence. Top notch fire pot designed like the commercially available ones from the previous century, a full 1'' thick, $250 for the completed assembly.

kayakersteve Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Roger is an awesome gentleman and I believe over 75 years old - I just purchased and installed one of his firepots and they are incredible.

Revtoby Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Just ordered one of Rogers pots. I'm anxiously waiting ... It's the only thing besides my champion blower keeping me from banging on some iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
