Nelyrho 3-Burner Propane Forge Kit with Double Doors, 2600°F Max

This forged arrived early, but it had one broken part. It was one of the ceramic insulating rings where the burners connect. Not only did the manufacturer get back to me in an hour or so. But they sent me 3 new ones that arrived a day or two earlier than they said. Excellent customer support. And, the forge works perfectly. Would buy again.

First off, I gave it a five-star rating because of the price. Are there "better" forges available? Undoubtedly; but they will cost a LOT more than this Nelyrho. I usually use a vintage coal burner, but needed something portable and handy for demonstrations and training Scouts. This guy fits the bill! I did several applications of ridgizer and then multiple thin coats of refractory cement. Noting that it had no "chokes" for the burners, I fabricated a couple using copper tubing - TOTALLY unnecessary. The burners fairly roar - and generate plenty of heat. A possible improvement might be valve for at least one burner for the times you need to heat a small piece; I may end up adding them to both. As an aside, I happened to have a Camp Chef Portable Dutch Oven Table on hand. Without the wind shield it makes a perfect stand, and is also available on Amazon.

Awesome forger and very affordable! Works great! My son uses it for his farrier business and making horse shoes and knives. Very easy to use.

So far so good but, it uses a lot more gas than my old homemade forge. Also needs some type of air choke. The middle burner on mine huffs and puffs and tries to run the flame back up the tube. I wrapped a piece of a beer can around it and wired it in place where I can slide it up and down and seems to work better with about 1/3 of the opening covered. I'll come up with a more permanent solution. It also needs some ball valves so you can run one, two, or 3 burners to save gas on smaller projects and it only comes with 2 furnace bricks so I bought 4 more so I could put more of them in and cover the whole floor of the forge.

👍

Good forge, remember when you ordered this you need to order the grout and everything to do the inside and so add a couple hundred dollars to your price expectation

This thing does not work as shipped, full stop. This is an unfinished product. With another $200 and a week of work, it's almost as advertised! The ceramic wool insulation has zero rigidizer or hard-face coating on it — something that was not mentioned as *necessary* anywhere in the description — hazards from breathing in the ceramic fibers aside, all your heat goes through the blankets into the stainless shell instead of staying in the chamber. First heat, all of the stainless was discolored all over and the doors were warped. Mine couldn't get steel past a dull orange at full blast, around ~1700°F. WELL SHORT of the 2700°F advertised. Once I put in the work to rigidize and coat the liner myself (Satanite, then ITC-100, about a week's worth of treatment and curing), then the real design flaw showed up: The burner intakes are just two small oval holes punched into a straight tube, no flare, no shutter, nowhere near enough air for three burners running together. You end up with rich, incomplete combustion and orange flame shooting out every vent hole in the case because the stock burners can't bring enough air in for the fuel. I tried to enlarge the intakes and eventually designed a whole forced-air blower just to get this thing to welding temp. Finally melted some rebar, so we're in the 2500°F range now, at full blast. Notably, the case isn't discolored from that heat as much as my first couple uses. If you buy this expecting a working forge for blacksmithing, you'll be disappointed. If you buy it as a cheap shell to gut and rebuild the burners and lining yourself, it's a fine starting point, but I think I'd be better off building from scratch. Anyone else should look elsewhere or go in knowing exactly what they're signing up for.

Really great. Just rigidize, and coat with satanite 2x. Make the satanite like slip (clay technique, look it up) and coat the tough to reach spots with a smaller paint brush, and or paint the whole thing in thin coats. Don’t overthink mixing the mortar just add a little water, mix and examine for smoothness. Mix well and dab on with a brush or use gloved hands. Good luck. Rush version: paint a coat of satanite, dry with hair dryer 10 minutes, fire with propane until solid. Step 2 Repair cracked parts from rushing. (This how I did it and in 3rd coat is now perfect). You can add plistix ( or another infrared reflecting coating on top for the best efficiency and heat). Good luck!

Great product great price

Great purchase my husband likes it alot very good

Works great. Lots of heat hoses are far enough away they will not get hot or melt

works well I have been using it for a few months now and no problems. just remember to get some refractory cement you don't want to be breathing in those fibres. I haven't tried to get it to forge welding temps yet but I think it is possible.

cette forge ne pas avec de ciment refractaire, un peu décu! Le ciment refractaire est absolument necessaire!!!
