I had been eyeing forges on Amazon for a while but just didn't see anything I wanted, then trolling on Vevor I noticed that they carried forges and after reading the reviews from others and watching some YouTube videos about this particular forge I pulled the trigger and purchased it. The forge came extremely well packaged, the overall construction of it is exceptional given the low price. There's not a lot of features you can expect since it's basically just 3 propane flame throwers and a metal tube. This forge is perfect for someone wanting to get started in blacksmithing or knifemaking, bit small for doing any farrier work but perfect for most anything else. Downside to this design is that both ends are open, a door or doors for each end would be good but using the included fire bricks it's possible to seal the openings up for the most part. Very pleased and definitely getting a lot of use from this. As far as being easy to use, once you have it all setup it's great, but the problem I had initially was spreading the refractory cement over the wool on the inside... but I accomplished it by mixing it a little bit thinner and starting from the middle working out to each end, 12 hours later I was forging a couple of coat hooks.
