Hi All,
First off I would like to thank everyone here for all of the excellent info...
As a complete newbie I still have a lot of questions but will start with this one... When mounting the torch/torches into the forge some have said to go in at an angle as straight or vertical will act as a chimney when turned of which makes a lot of sense. Some like to mount into the bottom of the forge. Now what I have always understood is that the tip of the blue cone of the flame is the hottest part, should this part of the flame be directed at your work piece or is the flame to swirl around the ID of the forge thus heating the workpiece placed in the centre ?
I'm at the point of mounting mine and would like a bit more info on the pros and cons of torch mounting to get the best heat to the workpiece.
Oh, i'm using a 35lb propane tank with 2"Kaowool
Thanks,
Bill
Will post pics of torch and will have questions regarding my flame as well tonight or tomorrow...
