[TheForge] Suggestion for a Test (was: Mineral Wool)

[Bruce Freeman]

Might not be so simple. Black metal may heat faster then shiny metal.
Try shiny vs black vs whatever in ONE forge and see what difference it may make.

As I see it, the real issue is how well our forges heat metal, so I'd
like to propose to the group test for our forges. It's cheap and easy,
and can help us all talk more clearly. I propose that we take a 1" x 1"
x 6" piece of bar stock and measure how long it takes to get up to a
certain temperature, as measured by a Tempilstick.
