    Not much wasted heat. Certainly not enough that it would make sense to try and use it for heat treating. Firebrick insulates really well. You could have a hot fire inside, and the outside would be 'warm'. The amount of heat transferred to the outside would be enough to keep your coffee warm, but nothing near the order of magnitude you would use for annealing or tempering; Not with the size of the fire you can make inside that forge.
