Nelyrho Propane Blacksmith Beginner Forge Kit with 30PSI Regulator, Three Burners Artists Hobby Knife Making Blacksmith Tools (Three Burners)

First off, I gave it a five-star rating because of the price. Are there "better" forges available? Undoubtedly; but they will cost a LOT more than this Nelyrho. I usually use a vintage coal burner, but needed something portable and handy for demonstrations and training Scouts. This guy fits the bill!I did several applications of ridgizer and then multiple thin coats of refractory cement. Noting that it had no "chokes" for the burners, I fabricated a couple using copper tubing - TOTALLY unnecessary. The burners fairly roar - and generate plenty of heat.A possible improvement might be valve for at least one burner for the times you need to heat a small piece; I may end up adding them to both.As an aside, I happened to have a Camp Chef Portable Dutch Oven Table on hand. Without the wind shield it makes a perfect stand, and is also available on Amazon.

I like it and the seller is excellent. Had a problem with the porcelain ring broke, they replaced the whole thing. I don’t like having to remove the gas tubes every time I shut it off as recommended. Otherwise it works fine.

Hot metal in no time.

Really great. Just rigidize, and coat with satanite 2x. Make the satanite like slip (clay technique, look it up) and coat the tough to reach spots with a smaller paint brush, and or paint the whole thing in thin coats.Don’t overthink mixing the mortar just add a little water, mix and examine for smoothness. Mix well and dab on with a brush or use gloved hands. Good luck.Rush version: paint a coat of satanite, dry with hair dryer 10 minutes, fire with propane until solid. Step 2 Repair cracked parts from rushing. (This how I did it and in 3rd coat is now perfect).You can add plistix ( or another infrared reflecting coating on top for the best efficiency and heat).Good luck!

Love this thing. Only thing I had to do was add the flame mortar inside of it. I have well over 10 blades made in this thing, and it's still going. Super easy to put together. Holds head well. And it's long enough to fit an entire 18" blade from tip to end of tang. Amazing bang for your buck. Perfect for starting Blacksmiths!

It is nice for small things and works well but you have to put a brick up to it if you want to get it very hot. it's built quite well and I suggest that you add refractory cement for longer lasting and higher heat. It's also suggested that you take the burners out after you use it so that it don't melt the hoses .

The media could not be loaded. This forging furnace is super compact but packs a huge punch. The Three burners put out a significant amount of BTU and brings the furnace up to temperature very quick. Even though instructions said not need for rigidizer or refractory satanite, I went ahead and lined it with stanite.

Very nice setup. The packaging was in 2 boxes and padded very well. The boxes were not damaged but one of the burner insulators was broken when I unpacked it. My only complaint is I can’t figure out how to report it to the seller so I can get a replacement.
