I had a similar experience when trying to build my first propane forge. I had built it roughly 4x bigger than I should have, and lighting it was a harrowing experience. I decided to scrap that one and rebuild smaller when I got a flash burn that took all the hair off my right arm, as well as from most of my face.
Unless you’re working with some truly massive stock, it turns out a beer keg is much too big for building a forge in.
