Morning guys. I use a propane forge with a steel baffle and a thermocouple to heat treat. I have been positioning my knife in the baffle and then lighting the forge and bring it up to critical temp. My question is this: Should I bring my forge up to critical temp. and then put my knife in or is my current way OK?
That makes me think of another question. The thermocouple measures the temp of the atmosphere inside the baffle not the temp of the knife. If I heat the forge up to critical temp first and then place the knife in it how long does it take the knife itself to heat up to that critical temp?
Thanks for the help
