What will I need to heat horse shoes to a temperature which will allow me to bend and or straighten them by hand tools. Will a Mapp type torch do that or am I looking at a forge type set up?
Have a look at making a charcoal retort all the fuel you need if you have access to logs i make charcoal from pallets small scale but enough for my needs good thing is its pretty much smokeless in useI have a large wood fire'd boiler at home, often use that to do these kinda jobs...
where poss wait until there's enough jobs to do.....
Easily heating up that kinda thing....
Our boiler will take 0.5m logs, so even biggish things can be done...
Still would like a forge but it's the running cost's that put me off....
There's no coal /coke in rural France......hahaha..
