[TheForge] Gas Forge Recommendation

[marc3rd at comcast.net]

Now that I think of it, even when I got all the parts together I was scared
to put it together. Not to mention cutting an eliptical hole in the large
pipe for the burner to go thru.
And then turning it on for the first time. that was scarry.
