    My forge can melt steel, but I don’t like it to. So I don’t crank it to full unless I’m using my burners for metal casting.

    You want to get steel hot enough to glow, then it’s easier to smash into shape with a hammer and anvil. If it melts on you, well the piece is now fucked, especially if you wanted to make something hardenable like a knife.

    There’s entire sections of metallurgy dedicated to this kind of thing. It’s pretty neat.
