It totally does with modern forges too.

Does that actually work with modern forges?

The refractory lining in most modern forges can't handle that kind of thermal shock. It causes micro-fractures that ruin the insulation over time.

Man that reminds me of my old pottery kiln. Thing would crack if you looked at it wrong after a fast cool down. Had to baby it for like a full day just to unload a mug. Makes sense forges would have the same kinda fussy problems with their linings.
