Thanks Frosty, I figured out how to put my location (Dallas, TX) in the header. WayneCoeArtist... that seems very low pressure. That baffle burner must be efficient if you're successfully forging and hardening as you say. Thank you all for all the great info you're sharing on this site. I'm learning a lot, and I'm sure I'll be asking for advice. --BThis

I'm planning my first DIY propane tank forge this winter, and was going to build a standard venturi burner. This looks much better, and I like the idea of a quiet (or less noisy) forge, too, although adding a fan seems to complicate it a bit. But I have some questions: do ribbon burners require/use more gas than the standard Reil design and similar single-nozzle burners? What do you use for the blower? How long does the cast manifold last under pretty light occasional use?
