My husband loves it! Good quality, worth the money, as described.

This arrived painted in low temp pain not even appropriate for grilling use, I considered stripping it and using it, but the small size renders almost useless except as a coal starter for a larger BBQ. Even then it would take a few loads due to small size. As a forge it could not bring 3/8 303 key stock to temp. I attempted after the frame stopped smoking on the first light. I was unwilling to try to mod this into something useful as only the blower part seemed reasonably serviceable, and It didn't even have all the necessary hole drilled for assembly when it arrived.

It is a really nice forge I’ve gotten to get to 2,000-3,000 degree range and accidentally melted steel. Only problem is the connector from the blower to the base of the forge

For 200 dollars I expected it to at least be made a little better.

Bad construction back plate that retains pressure on warm gear driving gear is made of plastic and bins with the slightest amount of pressure causing the gears to strip out and lose their teeth also connecting to from blower to Ford is garbage and keeps popping out do not recommend spend a little bit more even if you're a beginner and get something that's better than this garbage for $200 they should not be putting a plastic plate on and expect it to retain the functionality of the gears or to provide stability for them
