My forge is made from soft fire bricks. It's coated with itc100 and bubble alumina. I use the fan in the link below and started with a 1/8" nozzle. I've reduced that to .110 and need to reduce further because I'm unable to reduce the temperature enough. I turned it down after it reached 2350...

One mistake I made when I built my shop was spraying texture on the walls. It holds a lot of dust and is hard to clean.

Bob at Ranger made knives does folder classes.

Sandwich the tank with two pieces of aluminum bolted together.

I asked my wife to buy it for me. She said no! It might have been the 5 mil a year operating cost. Tight wad.

There is a huge amount of wisdom in this thread. I have experienced many of the scenarios listed.
