So I built a burner to go in my forge but I'm at a loss to turn it on. It should be coming from the 10 psi part that screws into a Home Depot turkey fryer. I have that screwed into a series of fittings leading into a black steel pipe that I will connect to the forge. But my gas would not come on. Then I remembered the pin hole on the 1/8 piece and I assume it is some sort of safety thing but I don't want it. Can I just drill it out?

I'm trying to do it on my back porch. I live in an apartment so it is low on space. I maybe should have started smaller. I live in Durham Nc. I did update my profile to include location. Thanks for the tip and the warm welcome. If anyone lives close and wanted to show off their stuff I would be more than interested. Thanks.

No your right on. Regular Propane tank like for a grill is what I cut up and yes kaowool but not the same brand so just ceramic insulation.

It was only 1 inch maybe a little more for overlap. So I just looked up the Ray Rogers dirt simple venturie burner and is it just a matter of the 10 psi being pushed thru a brass block into a long pipe with a reducer fitting on it? Do you lite it on the inside or right there and it sends the flame all the way down the pipe? could I just saw the whole tip off a cheapo benzomatic and just run a hose to a valve and then a 10 psi regulator then tank and just plug it in the side? Is the leant important?

So I tried to make a forge by cutting the top off a propane tank, lining it with ceramic insulation and coated it with furnace retort cement. Have one 3/4 brass inlet pipe and have been trying to use a benzomatic twist flame torch from home depot. But it is not getting hot enough. Is the hole to big? I mean it is a big hole and I made a lid but still not enough heat. Or is the flame not enough? or both. Should I just rip the wool out an start over? Or is there no way to use that torch to get hot enough?
How do you get the gas to flow?
