Billy Goat these guys have more experience than I do . But the brake drum forge seems to me the best. Cut a section out of the side to get your metal to the fire. You want depth of the fire so the air blowing through it does not create problems.
A small blower for air and a method of controlling how much air you feed to it are critical.
I used the old blacksmith forges and have a propane one now. The propane means a more controlled temp but coal is do able. You just have to watch them more and have to clean them out to make your fire cleaner.
As far as your disc I've always been fascinated by the guys on Texasbowhunter who use them to cook on.
