[TheForge] Where have all the firepots gone

[Michael H. Murphy]

I noticed that the ash dumps on both of the fabricated firepots were welded
from pipe/tubing.  How about just using a pipe tee?  They're not that
expensive, and they work quite well.

As for build-your-own vs. buy, Centaur does tend to be a bit pricey -- high
quality, but a bit pricey.  The major argument for building you own is that
it will be the size and shape you want -- most of the time.
