VEVOR Propane Forge Portable, Single Burner 2600°F Metal and Knife Forge, Large Capacity Blacksmithing Farrier Forges, Gas Forging Tools and Equipment, Complete Mini Forge Kit

I've only used coal forges before this (if you can call my pile of bricks and a hair dryer a coal forge), but I'm never going back to coal after this! It was easy to assemble, and impossible to get wrong if you lose the instructions. The shell is tough, and the fire burns hot, heating up railroad spikes in a fraction of the time it would take for coal to do the same job. You can hook up any propane tank to the hose, and I actually use the same tank I use on my grill! It works just as well as a forge you can get for hundreds, and this is by no means a "you get what you paid for" product. The quality is actually better than I expected! Money well spent.

Works ike it should.

The media could not be loaded. There's not much for assembly instructions, but it's pretty easy to figure out how to assemble it.It is not difficult, but you need to be careful and make sure you have everything in place and you have checked everything for gas leaks with some water and dish-soap in a spray bottle. If you see bubbles coming from a coupling, you have a gas leak & need to turn off the gas bottle & tighten everything up & try pressurizing the system again.The burner has to be adjusted to burn clean, by adjusting the oxygen intake. The air/fuel mixture. It outputs an enormous amount of heat & will quickly heat up the metal inside. It has a small footprint,with a lot of possibilities for creating almost anything in metal. BE SAFE with this forge, it will burn you severely in only a moment or two. Make sure you have it outside of the house and you are prepared to shut-off the gas in an emergency situation!! Keep a fire extinguisher with the gas bottle, incase you need it.

This is a good little Forge. I have a larger Forge, but this one is pretty good for heating up knives and small pieces of metal when I don’t want to fire up the coal forge.

Im a professional farrier and blacksmithThis is the best small forge i have ever used . I fing love this thing. Easy to setup light easy to use. Tall enough for anything i want to use . And made well enough to work for years.

I love it but please buy rigidizer for your safety! Look up silicosis you don’t want it. Forge is “technically” ready to go, but I strongly recommend buying the rigidizer. I mostly use this for heat treat on stock grind knives, it has been working great!

The heat output is decent, but it doesn't get hot enough for full forging. The metal turns red, but it doesn’t reach the ideal temperature for proper shaping.

The forge itself works well, you cannotForge weld in it. The lining it comes with gives you cancer with exposure. They should have provided refractory cement and rigidiser, but they did not. If you have this forge and you want to keep using it, but satanite it will insulate it better and you will not get cancer.
