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

[Marc Godbout]

Ralph was the guy, alright, but that website is just some doofuss'
ripoff of Ralph's ideas. Oh wait a minute, that's my website. 

Ralph has a picture of his on his site at:
http://www.bearhillblacksmith.com/Shop%20Tour%20Slide%20Show.htm

Look for the "Vertical Sidewinder Gas Forge", and he does sell plans for
it. Ralph is full of ideas, so make sure you check out the rest of his
site.
