A well tuned how-to-do-it book for the craftsperson that requires a gas forge, a foundry furnace, a kiln, or a gas burner for an existing forge. It begins with a discussion of propane safety, and the proper use of tools. Chapter two includes a detailed discussion of just what a burner is and its propane fuel, along with the considerations that go into an efficient and successful design. The remainder of the book describes how to build different size burners, forges, forge carts, and furnaces. Each project has a list of materials needed and the tools required. To avoid repetition of the processes, one is referred back to earlier chapters where the process is described in detail. Included at the end of the book are a glossary of terms, a list of notes cited in the text, and an extensive list of resources. "Michael Porter's fine illustrations match his excellent writing style - Gas Burners for Forges, Furnaces, and Kilns is absolutely one of the best publications on the topic." David W. Wilson.
