fredie:
Im wanting to make a backyard style forge and have no idea how to start it . i have a ton of bricks to use . and open to any suggestions. Let me know please -fred

E. Jensen:
If you want to use propane they need to be soft fire bricks.  NOT hard fire bricks that you get at the hardware store.  Basically, if you can't carve it with a spoon, it's not the right fire brick.  I have no idea what you need for a coal forge though.

fredie:
Thanks any way .

Start with an old charcoal grill. Hold a blow dryer to the coals for air supply. Use hardwood charcoal, not briquets. Have a magnet, quench tank, safety goggles, fire extinguisher near by. That is all you need.

fredie:
Thanks man
