Here's a non-forced air burner design I came up with and used for a smelting furnace that is easily made with Pipe fittings. Hope it helps someone.

I received my order from Ellis Custom Knifeworks the other day and finally got around to building my one brick forge.
I started with one "soft" firebrick and drilled holes from each end until they connected then just slowly ran the drill bit sideways like a rotozip bit to enlarge the chamber. I then drilled a hole in the side for the burner about midway. I'll be using the bernzomatic jth7 torch that I picked up at HD on clearance for $18. Today I applied the first of two coats of satanite refractory cement to help stabilize the brick a bit as it is so fragile to begin with plus it will help with heat retention in the chamber. Here are a few pics along the way and also one of the gas tank I plan to build a larger forge from in the future.
