raypa Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 A guy I work with tinkers with a store bought gas forge and it peaked my interest. I have seen the gas 10" pipe blue prints on here and deceided I would try to make one and get into the hobby. I have looked around for the kaowool to line the pipe, but I'm only finding 1/2" thick matierial. Any suggestions on where to shop? Also, would I be able to use a larger diameter pipe? 10" seams small once you get your insulation in. Any additional advice is more than welcome Thanks!

NateDJ Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Also, would I be able to use a larger diameter pipe? 10" seams small once you get your insulation in. In my first forge I thought the same thing and found I needed to add some firebrick to decrease the inside area or add a 2nd burner to increase the heat in order to get it to heat up enough to forge with. There are calculations that will help you get an idea of how much space you can heat with each type of burner. Perhaps I should have used one of them LOL!

MRobb Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Try two layers of Kaowool. Then maybe some ITC100 on top of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
