As to heat treating facilities, well, minimal - maximum heat capability
is propane forge. Obviously no automatic temp control.


Do you have a firepit?


No, would that be better than a propane forge? Bob


I have a firepit that I use, mostly, for burning cut-up pallets and
cooking hot dogs. I could heat some rather big things to red heat in
it. You need about 2 pallets for that. A comparable size propane forge
would be expensive. I have a small propane forge, with which I am very
happy.
