[TheForge] Ceramic chip forge

[Dave Brown]

I wonder what it'd cost to ship you some spikes.  I've got a bunch of them 
just sitting here looking for some place to go.  How many do you need?

What size/shape are the chips?  Maybe this'll be one of the solutions I'm 
looking for in my quest to build a forge fired with waste oil.
