[TheForge] Shopping for Forges

[williamsiron at comcast.net]

I had Larry Zoeller build a two burner forge for me. I works great. Heats steel to a yellow in short order at 6 psi propane. My forge takes a little longer to heat as I put a slab of silicon carbide kiln shelving in the bottom to protect the insulating material. You can find Larry's contact info at www.abana.org

I'm thinking about buying a new and shiny gas forge for my shop,   
because the one I built has never worked as well as it should. It's   
certainly not hot enough to forge weld. Hell, I could put a piece of   
steel in there for 45 minutes and it wouldn't burn up. And it takes 25   
minutes to heat up, but cools off to black in 2. So, does anyone out   
there have recommendations on a reliable and hot gas forge to   
purchase? I've been looking at Chileforge.com. 

Thanks, 

Mark
