Jesse1 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Hello everyone. I am in the process of building my first forge, a 2 burner freon tank forge. I am trying to purchase the refractory that is needed but am unsure of which to get. After using the search here and on google I have narrowed it down between Mizzou, Satanite, Greencast 94, and Kast-O-Lite 30. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Welcome... Read through the Forges 101 for answers, we used Satanite with a layer of bubble alumina over it. You didn't mention using Kayowool or equivalent for insulation. This will give you a lot of help using the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey98118 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Two burners on a forge made from a five gallon propane cylinder should be no larger than 1/2" size. If the Freon cylinder is the typical non-refillable size, two burners should be no more than 3/8" size. One 1/2" burner is plenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneCoeArtistBlacksmith Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I like the Kast-0-Lite. It is far less expensive than Greencast 94, it is light weight and insolating. All should be cast over ceramic blanket. Let me know if I can help you. Wayne Coe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
