[TheForge] Sidearm Burner Parts

Thu Jan 16 18:00:01 2003

If I may interject a shameless plug.... I keep a large supply of actual LP gas
orifices in stock. These have a 1/8 female pipe thread and only cost $1.50. We
also stock a complete line of gas forge building supplies as well as ITC-100,
ceramic fiber and several forge and burner kits.

Email me off list for our complete price list.
