knots Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I am looking for a fire pot to fit this ash dump/air tube. Not sure if it is a Champion or a Buffalo . Any confirmation of manufacturer and/or source of a fire pot that will bolt on will be appreciated. The mounting holes are 7" center to center, the diameter of the discharge opening is 5 1/2".

caintuckrifle Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 That is the same fire pot my forge is currently being built around. Mine has wording on the top that I am trying to make out, I will let you know when I Unicode it. I can send you the dimensions of mine and you could fab a new upper, there is really nothing to it.

Made from thick enough steel a fabbed firepot will work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewayforge Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Looks like a champion Whirlwind firepot. good stuff, right there. Supposed to be supreme when paired up with a 400 blower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it does look like it is a fit for the whirlwind fire pot. The clinker breaker appears to be configured to swing through a cylindrical depression at the bottom of a slotted tuyere . The radius on the swing is 3". The bottom of the fire pot will need to have a corresponding cylindrical depression . That would be tricky to fabricate but do-able. However it sure would be nice to find a fire pot that was made to fit. Now that I know what I have I will be able to call around to see what is available. Many thanks for that ID. If all else fails I'll just use 4 or 5 inch wide 1" thick bar to fab a firepot . In that case I would likely convert the dump/air assembly to use a triangular clinker breaker that I already have.
