Safety Note
Never put a material containing zinc into the forge. It produced a highly toxic gas, and it means the lining of the forge is ruined and has to be replaced. The blacksmith forges are for heating iron and steel only. Most other metals have a melting point lower than the operating temperature of the forge, and will screw up the insulation if they melt into it.
