[TheForge] new forge design

[Ralph Sproul]

        I've been designing and just built a proto type propane forge that
works well.  I've been thinking of ways to improve upon the proto type and
wanted to know if Kiln shelf material can be drilled for burners, or drilled
to hold it in a top that I made?
        Another Question is does anyone know where they sell the tapered
flare burners that are about 10 inches long with the threads on one end, and
a 3/8 pipe thread in the input end to hook up gas lines and propane jets
into it.
        Yes, I've seen alot of the venturi pipe burners, but wanted to try
some of those tapered cast style burners to see how they worked.  The forge
I retro fitted for a person was called the "magnum hot box" ??? I believe.
Is that still made? or parts available for that?  As that had the tapered
stainless burners I'm looking for, and they worked well.
