I've made a gas forge with the design found at [url]http://www.jamesriser.com/Machinery/GasForge/PropaneForge.html[/url] , but it doesn't seem to be getting hot enough. I can only heat iron up to a dull reddish-orange(I'm pretty sure, haven't tried it in a while). I've tried getting a few ashes in among the bricks, but can't tell very much of a difference. About the only difference between the forge in that page and mine is that I used a different kind of firebrick(the only kind I could find) that was harder, not soft; as a result of this, the hole I drilled wasn't very good-the brick cracked around. Is there anything I can do to make it heat more effectively? Or, maybe even a different design I could use(hopefully with the same materials, so I wouldn't have to go buy a lot more stuff)...
