Krown Kustoms

Gunna have to buy some wool. I am about to give up on the "T" burner...Im not sure what Im doing wrong. Cant get them to stay lit under pressure. Any tips? Does this look correct? Was just in the chat room and Marcus suggested I try them in the forge . Some reason i didnt think about that. Ill give them another try.

I share the same philosophy. I built the "t" burners and get a beautiful blue bud at the tips but no umph to them. When I jack the pressure they go out. I gotta play with them a little cause I know the work...I have seen a lot of people here so far that use them.

ahaa! found it. The last pic I think is the problem. Too much air restriction. Oh yeah. These are the burners first at 10psi second at 25psi I working on these now. Hope 3 isnt too much.

K here goes....I added air holes to the burner tubes cause the flame was orange (rich right?) flame got blue. The back burner wah huffing. Opened holes more and increased the pressure...up tp about 25psi. Only burns on the forge floor. Not out of the tube like the front one. 25psi seem a bit excessive. I want to be around 10psi. I have roughly 720 cubic inches inside. 20 deep x 4.5 wide x 8 high. There is no insulation in the top so I know Im loosing heat. Kinda nice for winter time though. gotta figure out how to insert pictures.

Hey everyone. I am new to this but have been playing around with different setups for my propane forge. I built a forge using a 10 gallon air tank and some fire brick. The burners (2 burners) are 1" pipe about 10" long into a 1" to 1.5" reducer with 1/8 90's into the center. I believe the 90's are restricting too much air flow. It heats the garage like you wouldnt believe but not hot enough to weld. I found this today. I originaly built this to heat knives for hardening and it works great but I found today not efficiant at all due to the gas usage. I have a few pics but not on computer yet..Ill post them soon. I went ahead today and bought the parts to build the "T" burner. I think its Frostys design but not too sure. Looks promising though. I will give credit where its due when I have time to find the author of the build. I bought enough parts to build 3 burners. Before I do I was wondering how many would be best for the 10 gallon tank forge. I assume 3 would be ok due to the 2 I have now leave a cool spot between the two on the bricks. Thanks for any input.

I definatly will...I have heard of a few groups local to me. Thanks for the welcome.

go big or go home is how I do it.

Hi everyone. I am new to smithing. I own/run a fabrication business that mostly specializes in motorcycles and drag cars and such. I kayak and camp and what started the idea of building a forge is I wanted to make a camp knife and hatchet and needed enough heat to heat treat them so I bult a coal forge...well a small tank supplied with coal and compressor air that sucessfully makes enough heat to melt the knife I made. Since I have built a larger indoor coal forge and have had good luck with it. Still not big enough to get all the metal to temp for hardening. So.....I built a huge propane forge/furnace/flame thrower that does the trick nicely and now Im hooked and have been making knives and hatchets and of course all the tools I need. I seem to spend most of my time making tools. Its a good break from the paint booth and powdercoat booth. I have found a lot of good info here and visit often but this is my first real post. I have tons of pics but none on the computer yet. Ill load them soon to show my way over built contraptions.
