[TheForge] Re: reducing fuel costs by improving forge efficiency

[DaveS]

Having spent many hours trying to attach kaowool to
the flat roof of a high temperature, gas fired air
heater, and spending many downtime hours repairing the
roof and refratory when it a piece of wool fell out
and the roof burned, we finally came up with the
following scenerio:  replace the solid roof with
expanded metal, slightly arch the roof and then pack
in the wool by folding in in a corregated manner,    "
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\" . 
 
For your forge, what would happen if you built a
frame, corregated in the wool and then ran horizontal
rods from one side of the frame through the middle of
the kaowool and throught the other side of the frame?
Then coat the inside of the top with satanite.
