That Monday morning when the forge wouldn't light and the truck tire was flat

Got to the first farm near Springfield and my propane forge just sputtered out, wouldn't hold a flame. Spent an hour trying to get it going before I gave up and used the old coal forge in their barn, which was full of cobwebs. Then I walked back to my truck and saw the rear driver's side tire was completely flat, probably from a nail in their gravel drive. Had to change it in the mud, making me late for my next three appointments. Anyone have a reliable propane forge brand they'd recommend that can handle a damp morning?

Switched to a Hell's Forge after my old one died in the rain. It lights right up even when it's humid out and the burners seem solid. That thing saved me a lot of mornings like yours.

What about a portable electric forge instead?

Hot take: Rough days build character. Man, that's a brutal start to the week. I've been there with the propane giving up in the damp air. I ended up getting a Diamondback Ironworks forge a few years back and it's been a tank. Their burners are simple and just seem to fight through the moisture. It's not cheap, but you won't be messing with cobwebs and flat tires again.
