[TheForge] Food, Glorious Food....was Anvil question.

To All,
Then there was the 1836 microwave or at least I use it in an 1836 environment.
Take a 4" length of 1" square bar and welde it endwise to the center of a 3" square piece of 1/4" plate. Drill a 1/4" diameter hole in the center of the plate/bar assembly about 1" deep. Also drilled a 1/4" hole into the 1" square bar perpendicular to the first hole so they meet.  Then weld a 10" length of 2 1/2" OD schedule 80 pipe to the center of the plate opposite the 1" bar.  Make a skewer that was self centering in the pipe and was long enough to bottom out in the bottom hole.  Set the pipe assembly in the forge and get it a dull red uniformly along its length and circumfrence.  I put a hot dog or beef cubes on the skewer and while the pipe assembly is sitting in the hardy hole of my anvil, the skewer is placed inside for about a minute or so. No ashes, no soot and done to perfection.  I have also cooked hot dogs, sausages, small steaks and other delights over my charcoal fire using large flesh forks.  I have not tried to cook over soft coal.
