Very cool I just made one a month ago only no bottom flame basket ,good job al
I just used the turkey fryer for the stand. It is a coal forge....you dump the coal in the brake drum and use a source of air on the intake side of the Tee and the bottom of the Tee is capped off. It is used for a ash dump after the forge cools down. I will post a video of it this weekend.
I use a very similar design and works great, if the hair dryer cracks up like the one I pinched from the missus, then try a cheap heat gun, cut the wires for the heating element and it will run forever.
Nice job
If possible also try to use just regular mild steel instead of galvanized steel because if it gets hot galvanized material can give off some nasty fumes that can make you sick. I know that the location of the parts will not be in direct heat but the chance is still there or use in a well ventilated area.
