[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 271487, member: 3111"] Ahh I see! Forge should be kept for forging, a furnace however is best for smelting. If you have a bin / walls to keep more heat in the drum forge it may help, but I'm not sure if the temo will ever exceed big enough area to actually smelt metal. Most units to get high temp I use, have a lid to force the flames back down again and retaining heat. I think that you will find that the excess carbon of the coke / coal even charcoal can be making it difficult to smelt with impurities but may simply just need more heat that the forge may not reach. If you eant a quick alternative for a current project I suggestusing fire brivks fron a pizza oven or kiln repairer. They will hold the heat very well and easily shaped Rippa hunk of iron that haha, mabey even something to do with ships? Massive. I love the safety moccasins too lol [/QUOTE]
