I've done a good bit of work in a washtub forge, as much as I like using charcoal, I've had to admit the economy and portability of the Ammo-box forge.
A friend of mine took everything he liked about Ron Riel's freon can forge, and put it in an ammo box, along with some modifications to the burner if I recall.
Highly portable, and it'll get welding temperatures at 15-20 psi, forging temperatures at 5.

Nice one mithral, I'll check out some army disposals asap. So do have link for the design by any chance? What's used instead of charcoal?
