Flamefast ds230 forge

Hello,

I have messed around with coal forges in the past and am certainly no good at smithing but it is interesting to play around with. I have a possibility in the near future to get a flamefast ds230 forge. Does anyo e have any experience with these ? What is a reasonable price to offer ?
Thank you
 
I have a spare forge that I don't really need.
I purchased one from a fella in Vancouver. When my buddy went to pick it up, the seller gave him EVERYTHING he had left laying around (apparently he was being evicted) so I got 2 for the price of 1.
It's a repurposed propane cylinder.
The maker built it with a ribbon style burner.
Heavily insulated with kaowool and refractory.
Its never been fired up.
It is very heavy though.
Like, it'd need to be shipped on a pallet, heavy.
I'm also in BC. So that might dissuade you lol...
