Portion where flame/torch will be is completely in circled with brick. What could be used to go between brick and outer metal shell to keep shell from heating or is it even possible ? hope someone can help thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnut Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Welcome to IFI, check out forges 101 thread. Bricks take a long time and use up a lot of fuel to heat up if they're hard firebrick and If they're soft firebrick they won't stand up to the rapid heating and cooling in a forge for very long. Kaowool and castable refractory are the way to go. Someone with a lot more experience will be by to help you before long. Good luck and welcome to the addiction.
