[TheForge] Brick BBQ type of Forge

[Bob Willman]

	When you say brick, I assume you mean a brick base with standard
cast iron fire pot. I built mine in 1988. It took less than 300 regular
brick and about 20 +/- hard fire brick. The fire brick are not really
necessary. I used them on the top to cover the 1/4" plate that holds the
fire pot. They give me a deeper fire and a flat surface to lay hot things on
without danger. It also provides a place to rake the fire apart and a place
to let the coal go out until next time. I also put a coal storage hopper
inside the hollow space on one end.

Has anyone out there built or has workable plans for a brick type of forge,
I was reading about them in a couple of books and saw one in England in use.

I was just wondering because I have the space, the time and some extra money
to build something like this.
