Thread: Lpg forge

I Built my own burner and forge , I went for the blown air style burner instead of the venturi. works well and you can control the air flow easily . My first forge i went for the kaowool type which works great , but if you plan on any forge welding and using borax as flux you will want to go castable refractory. the borax will eat the kaowool like candyfloss. the kawol forge will heat quickly , the castable will take longer but will hold the heat better once up to temp. at least go for a fire brick base where most of the flux ends up. you want your burner to be slightly angled too so it swirls the flame around the forge a bit . not critical but will give you a hot spot otherwise.
