Subject: Gas Forge - Commercial

In order to get up to speed quickly, I want to buy a gas forge instead of 
building one right now. I have had some recent discussions here about building 
them... I've read Kern's book and learned a few things. Like properly sizing 
the forge for the job(s) at hand so as to make efficient use of Propane, etc.

Can anyone recommend a good commercially available forge? Does anyone have one 
for sale?

Thanks,

I've used NC Tool gas forges on several occasions. They come to heat quickly
and seem to be efficient in their fuel usage. I know that Dan Boone has used NC
Tool forges and is very pleased with them. I understand Mankel make a gas
forge, too. Their addresses etc., are on the suppliers list but I'll list them
just in case you can't get there just now.

NC Tool Company
6568 Hunt Road
Pleasent Garden, NC 27313

Mankel Blacksmith Shop
7836 Cannonsburg Road
Cannonsburg, MI 49317

Let us know how things work out.
