on gawd-awful FB there is (was?) a group called 'blade-smithing for beginners'.. there are many links to building propane burners & forges.

i run a single burner venturi-type, i designed & dialed-in my-self. forge is regular fire brick floor, & 3000* kaowoll for the top & sides, caoted w/ HTC satan-ite ceramic protected by 18ga stainless outter body. i can work 5160 & 4140 w/o much hassle @ about 9psi

with the kao-wool...

i can have one side yellow-hot (2300*F) and hold it in my hand @ 2"thickness.

after a few moments, its gets hot, but gets lemon-yellow in a few moments, while the hard brick floor is only dull red
