[TheForge] A challenge to Harry

[IowaHarry]

Hey Jerry,

As to how I would fire the larger forge? If I hang enough propane 
burners on it to make it look like a nuclear device that should probably 
do it right? Ok, that might be a little excessive. But just the same, 
multiple propane burners to make a larger hot spot. 40" may be too much 
and that may get trimmed down. I haven't made any headway on the little 
one yet so plans on the bigger one are ephemeral at best.

Still living at work, Harry
