Doming the lid would help and might even "solve" the "problem" of keeping
the liners in place.

Unfortunately the nature of the forge's adjustability requires the sidewalls
be movable and a domed lid would leak fire when the sidewalls are moved in
from the perimeter. An inch or so of Kaowool on top of the sidewalls as a
gasket might do the trick though. I'll keep the idea in mind.

Thanks,

Jerry
