This is prototype #2, measuring 14.5" long, 12" tall and 8" wide. The inner chamber is 5" x 12.5". You are buying the forge and burner shown in the video.
Here's a video of the forge at the hammer-in last weekend. You could hear the little spurt at the beginning. This stopped happening after about 10 minutes, although was prone to it when the wind blew a bit harder. After about 12 hours it started to run out of propane, but held up very nicely for the first and second day. Most of the time there were three people with metal in the forge, two in the front and one in the back. Not quite as hot as the dual burner whisper or Tracy's blown forge, but it was very nice and even with a very quick turnaround for forging. For what it's worth, I no-flux welded two san-mai billets in it and it welded fine.
TC showed 2300° F at the front and 2150° F at the rear, while running at 15-17 PSI producing about 80,000 BTU
