Finally got it done.
Found the receipt for the Ins-wool from Darren Ellis . It was bought in 2004.
I can't even say I'm half/fast.
12 dia
18" high
2" inswool on top and sides sprayed with ins tuff.
1 " of wool in bottom with a llayer of kitty liter on top of that.
Had to add the vent on top as the air coming out the door was way to hot.
1 1/4 burner idea from Indian George.
I think my blower puts out 160 cf of air. The 2" valve doesn't need to be open much.
I start it a 5# pressure and run it a 2. A knife blade takes hardely any time to heat up.

Thougt I would share
Take care
TJ

OK, that thing just gave me one serious case of "forge envy"! If it were mine I'd polish it every day and call it "my precious" :)

Seriously, nice forge! Is it made of stainless or did you polish it?

Ya need the heater until you fire up the forge. Still
freezing at night here.I think it"s 18 gage . It's from Kelly Cupples stock . He even formed it for me.
Thanks for looking TJ
 
I like that forge TJ.
I want to finish my vertical some day now. I used 2 verticals over the weekend at Garys hammer-in.
I think you are overkill on the fan. You should think about using it for an air door to keep the handles and your gloves cool. One of the verticals we welded in only had a hair dryer fan on it and ran 4# of propane pressure.

I have to agree, I run a 12' D x 20" long horizontal forge w/ two burners off one 60 CFM blower @ 4lbs also. I only use it for welding in because it runs at 2250 to 2350+ depending on how I vent it.
