When I going to central trade school in 1944 there was a natural gas furnace that looked like a blower going into a box shaped stack of fire bricks .It was used for heat treating & forging. I would like to build one .Has anyone had any like ideas?

Here are some picture of a, propane fired, firebrick forge I built last winter. No blower needed on this type of burner. I made the burner from 3/4", 1",and 2" pipe. It uses a .030 MIG welding tip for the orfice. The wing bolt on the side is an air coke to ajust fuel/air mixture. As you can see plenty of heat to forge or heat treat.

Here is a website that will show you how to build this type forge.

Have fun playing with this one!!!

Thanks Larry I have already checked out your burner and it may be just thing with plenty of btu's to spare but I have my heart set on natrual gas as all my other stuff runs on natrual gas and it is cheap.let's see if we get any more replys Mabe one of you guys have seen what I have in mind.
