i have welded cable in a one brick forge and had to use mapp gas in order to get it hot enough,i also used 20 mule teem no problems.if your planning on doing more welding or damascus you can build a larger hotter forge for little money,the only high cost will be the propane tank,hoses,regulator and opptional fan,there is tons of information here on theses forums and at ron reils web site on how to build burners and forges,i built my burner for less than 8 bucks and the forge for about 15,you should be able to get a propane tank for less than 5 bucks at garage sales,i had my hoses made for 15 dollars at a welding shop and my regulator(a nice one but doesnt have to be so nice)for 60$,so less than a hundread dollars and i can do so much more with it than a one brick.well anyways hope this helps
