Hello all!  Does anyone know where to get high temperature ceramic wool insulation in the general west coast-ish washington area? I'm building my second gas forge as my first was not hot enough.

Anvilfire.com sells kaolwool (ceramic wool), and Amazon has some I've seen as well. As for a non-online store, Seattle pottery supply might have refractory like that, but I've never been there.

Just having some fun messing around with whatever I have a mind to do.

We get it in large quantities at High Temp in Portland. http://www.hightempinc.net/  I don't know if they sell small quantities, but I would be willing to sell you what you need. If you don't mind dusty looking, I would only charge you postage. 🙂

I have purchased it from Seattle Pottery Supply, as well as the Clay Art Center in Puyallup.

They do have kiln-shelving which is pretty nice stuff for the floor of a gas forge. Doesn't soak up heat like brick would.

Some of the stores also sell broken chunks of kiln shelving pretty cheap. Those are great "sacrificial" pieces to put in your gas forge if you are doing any forge welding, to keep the flux from eating the forge floor.
