April 24, 20179 yr Long time since I posted on here The last time was talking about my coal fired forges but now have decided to build a square tube propane forge. I have all ready made a couple of Frosty's burners and the forge body is being fabbed now. Which leads to my dilemma I would like to use duraboard or something similar but not stuck on anything in particular. Have have read hundreds of posts here and several different web sites which has completely made my head spin as to what is the best for my use. Money isn't too much of an issue but I don't like just throwing money away either! I have been unsuccessfully trying to locate a local supplier of Forge lining material in my general area. (Eastern Oregon, Western Idaho etc) At this point I am not set on any one style or brand but would like to be able to see what I'm buying before paying all the shipping and handling. Does anyone know of a supplier of these materials in my general area! Thanks
April 26, 20179 yr Duraboard, with a hot-face coating, is the safe bet. It isn't the only bet, but sometimes the old tried and true is the smart play. You can always take a chance on an upgrade the next time around, when you have had enough time for research.
April 26, 20179 yr Author Thanks Mikey! That's pretty much what I had figured was just hoping to find a supplier somewhere close. Guess I will just bite the bullet and order some!
April 26, 20179 yr Duraboard is a good product. EJ Bartell used to have locations in Spokane and Portland but they were bought out by Distribution International and may still have stores there. Do a web search for outlets and what they carry. It's where we buy refractories here. Frosty The Lucky.

May 22, 20179 yr It looks to me like it's 1200 degC rated. http://store.armilcfs.com/high-temperature-insulations-refractories/boards.html http://store.armilcfs.com/pdf/Ceramic_Fiber_Board.pdf There are Low-Density boards rated for both 1200 and 1400 degC. I've not seen one rated for 3000 degF (1649 degC). http://www.unifrax.eu.com/web/Audit.nsf/ByUNID/D600A55D633ECF7685258128001AEAC0/$File/Fiberfrax Duraboard 120 EN.pdf http://www.unifrax.eu.com/web/Audit.nsf/ByUNID/0BDEDE9E3537A2F285258128001B037D/$File/Fiberfrax Duraboard 140 EN.pdf
