[TheForge] A blown, fuel-injected forge

[Jerry Smith]

Isn't this the Chinese gasoline/oxygen torch that
showed up on the U.S. market a few years ago? My
insurance coverage won't let me use anything powered
by gasoline outside of the van and the generator, and
I can't store my lawn mower and gas powered yard tools
in my shop. I would like to play with one of these
torches, but I have seen petrofueled forges and HT
ovens, they are just a furnace adapted to other uses.
