At the historic site where I work we have a Centaur Forge Vulcan fire pot 
installed in a brick forge.  It is used daily for 6mos of the year, and not 
just so the folks can see a fire in it either.  it was installed 10 years 
ago and is still in great shape.

The Vulcan is square/rectangular.  My personal forge has a round farriers 
firepot.  No, I'm not a farrier.  I just like the round pot ... it's simply 
a personal preference.

If you are really worried about it burning out, get one rated for coke as 
they are thicker.

Laurel Machine and Foundry supposedly has very good firepots also.  I'm not 
sure if they have a web site or not, and I don't have their address.
