Graham Gates(Ionic Muffin) Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Ok, so ive been doing research and looking around at other forges that people have built and have come up with a general idea of what i want. I was planning on a 10" pipe 12 inches long with 2 inches of kaowool and a firebrick floor. The inner diameter would then be 6" or maybe a bit less and so i ran the volume and got about 300. This seems like it would be right in the range that works well for a 3/4" burner. I didnt want to have to make more than one burner anyway. I dont like the cost of the kaowool rigidizers so i was wondering if i can just use tile cement. I used it in my charcoal forge and it seems to be doing the job, but it rubs off probably because of the heat. Is there a wash i can make myself that is relatively cheap so that i can put a better wash on it or would the tile cement work just fine? Ill be putting a door on each side and the back side restricting the opening down to 2 inches by 4 inches. I hope that i can save a bit of fuel by making this as efficient as possible but im sure that i will have flaws with my first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Gates(Ionic Muffin) Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Ok, well I just picked up the supplies for an EZ burner, so now that ive got that and a propane tank with a set up for the shut off valve I just need the wool cast able and the wash. If im going to use 2 inches of blanket in a 10 inch pipe i will wind up with a 6 inch diameter hole, the bottom will be made of a firebrick because its cheap and locally sourced. If i just need to add the cast-able to the upper part of the forge then would i want to put 1/2 inches of cast-able on and then add the wash? If so how many lbs will i need of the cast-able?
