[TheForge] Gas forge Question

[Justin Fellenz]

I made mine out of the 18g doors from a datacenter air conditioning
unit, lined it with 3" 2500 deg refractory brick and high temp mortar.
Doors are castable, 2" think. Fired by a mankel 3-burner and a blower.
The thing weighs about 300 pounds. 

It works well, but it's not how I'd do it again.
