google gas forges and you will probably get a heap. WHat size forge do you want to build. I use a small venturi type the same basicdesign uses a round
pipe anywhere from 8 to 12 inch diamiter dependig on what you can get your hands on. I have made 8 so far the first is always the hardest because I had a condidence problem after the first I tought what a goose itis easy. Having said that you still need to be carefull gas is dangerous. I don.t use blowers or any of that complicated stuff needed for larger forges. I am still able to make 16 in damasus bowies. Mine is small just for knives a generall blacksmithing forge would need to be larger. ( buy the way I still have my first they last well over 12 years so far. I have made them for others.)

I think my forge is based on ron riels forge he probably has a site but I am not sue of the spelling. if you get stuck send me an email

http://www.indiangeorgesknives.com/building_a_forge.html Great how to!

http://refractory.elliscustomknifeworks.com/ A great place to buy the items you need. (including burners if you don't want to build your own)

http://www.hybridburners.com/ A nice burner from a really cool guy.

All these guys are great great guys. Each one is very approachable with questions. The customer service from Darrin and his wife, as well as Rex from Hybrid burners, is OUTSTANDING.
