I changed the front door to this, I'll make the same for the back but with something to hold a fire brick?

Get a MIG, I am by no means a welder, but MIG is pretty easy to learn good enough for hobby welding

There were a lot of comments about flux in the beginning of this thread and I was wondering why you would still be using it?
I've seen Mike Q demo dry wielding and it works very well with no damage to the forge.

Dry welding, kerosene, both work very well with no damage to the forge.

I wont be using flux in this forge, I mentioned that I was building 2 forges. I'm working on a vertical forge using the green pipe from the first pictures for forge welding

I've finally started getting parts for the burner. Using threads I've found here and pictures on google this is where I'm at so far, I can still change it obvioulsly if there's a better way I should go about it. I'm all ears!



Also, I had this blower fan given to me. I have no idea how much air it will push, I dont mind buying the proper fan though if this is useless. A friend just happened to have it

Well I let it get to page 3. Nobody has any advice on the burner build so far? I'm just trying to make sure I do this right fellas
