    Welcome to episode one of TKOR n' Chill. A special curated compilation of classic TKOR content all in one place, allowing you to kick back, watch, and chill. Over the years we've put out so much content which can make it difficult to navigate, so we wanted to make it a little easier to find videos on one specific topic by putting them in one place. Have idea for a future TKOR n' Chill topic? Drop it below. Now kick back by a roaring fire and enjoy!

    When using the firebricks, I would suggest lining the whole outside of the bucket with K-wool blanket, then put the firebrick in tightly, maybe split the blanket so everything fits tightly, then fill in the gaps, there’s a product called water glass that’s made for glueing K-wool and firebrick together, I use this method quite a bit when I rebuild chambers in boilers, water glass isn’t easy to work with, but it works well.

    Put the crucible back in the forge after you use it rather than letting it cool at room temperature. let it cool with the forge to avoid thermal shock. Also store your crucible in air Tite container. to avoid moisture which will shorten thew life. Also, It is advised to bring crucible up to 4 0r 500 degrees and let cool before the first use. If you take care of crucible last for exceptionally long time.
