^^^This^^^ How thick koawool did you order? You can buy the hard fire bricks really cheap at Tractor Supply but they don't have the soft ones.

I just ordered 20 pounds of satanite and a pint of ITC-100 to top the satanite with. I ordered a piece of kaowool that's 1"x24"x10' I was planning on doing it 2" thick maybe more if I have room. I also ordered some firebricks ^^^This^^^ How thick koawool did you order? You can buy the hard fire bricks really cheap at Tractor Supply but they don't have the soft ones.

1" is plenty thick. Most forges will actually reach a higher temp with 1" than with 2". You're going to need a digital temp unit with a K thermocouple to monitor the heat if you plan on treating any stainless blades in it.
