Hell's Forge MAX is the big one in the American made Hell's Forge line: a double burner unit with a 6 x 4.75 x 19 inch interior, enough length to swing a full tang blade or a pair of tongs blanks through. The body is heavy gauge steel, the interior carries a 1 inch high density ceramic blanket, and two full size 9 x 4.5 x 1.25 inch firebricks sit on the floor. A 0 to 30 PSI regulator and hose come in the box, along with a container of Hellcoat 3000 refractory that the buyer brushes on before first fire.
Rated around 2300F, so forge welding is realistic but demands good tuning and closed doors. Suits smiths who already know they will forge longer stock and Damascus billets; overkill for someone making bottle openers once a month, since two burners drink propane. Assembly is simple, but plan an evening for coating and curing before the first heat.
