Actually, I have a Paragon KM-24D that I use for stainless and air-hardening steels (which I choose to plate quench).

I have two forges: a Johnson Gas pedestal model that I picked up from Bob Warner in Texas years ago and rebuilt. I have never used it, lol. My other forge is my favorite. A guy on ebay used to sell them. He called it a 'Poor Boy'. It's a small atmospheric model with two burners. It's super easy to use and is far quicker than the oven.

For the record: Anyone want to buy a nice forge and maybe a Rockwell hardness tester?
