I've been using a scrap piece of 2x3 square tubing as a muffle pipe in my forge while heat treating. Open with no back.
*Note this is the piece I've been using... I accidentally melted it recently which is why it looks so jacked up:
Questions:
Thanks,

Questions:
- What is the appropriate material for a muffle pipe?
- (Stainless, mild steel, etc)
- my mild steel version make a mess with slag
- What is the optimal geometry of the muffle pipe?
- (U shaped, Square, etc)
- Should the muffle pipe be closed?
- Should you put any material towards the back of the muffle pipe?
- A piece of wood?
Thanks,
JK
