[TheForge] Propane forge recommendation - bought not built!

[Dan Scheid]

as a farrier I deal with a bunch of guys that Buy forges. I like the Valley
magnum for shoeing it has a larger box then most (almost all sold forges are
built for farriers) but it scales more then desirable for forge work. The
Pro forge is very hot but the box is small and fragile. The NC not bad forge
good compromise. The one That turn my head was Spanish Lake. they have a
nice box size and get hot as hell. also have a choke on the venturie so you
can adjust it some. Cost is not bad .
