Doug..... A couple of things that I think can be used without problems are a "heat lamp", and/or a small fan. The reason I gave the warning is because I see a lot of people who recommend firing the forge "gently" to speed along the curing process...... not a good thing in my experience. In the case of castable refractory, doing something like that will often "flash boil" tiny pockets of water within the refractory..... weaking it greatly, or in some cases even causing small chunks to "pop" out.
Same thing with coatings like ITC, ect..... if you cause any of those to "bubble" via firing when they are not cured, the coating, when it bubbles, will usually fall right off.
Craig!!! How you doin pal?!? Hope all is well with you.....we need to yak sometime soon.
