Ok. I know of a smith that just built a pid controlled ribbon burner forge. He made a shell and lined with soft firebricks. He's going to use kiln shelving for the floor I believe.
Keep In mind this guy really knows his stuff. He HTs professionally. He says he basically has a ht oven that he can easily forge in as well. Now correct me if I'm wrong but I've always heard Ribbon burners burn to hot for pretty much anything but Damascus? I have also heard that A PID forge doesn't do much for you generally. I would love for this to be a great setup but I just don't know…… what do y'all think?
