So I started forging using a converted table top grill as a charcoal forge. Then upgraded to a propane tank propane fueled forge with a naturally aspirated burner. I'm looking to build another forge. I am seriously considering building a forced air propane burner for this new forge. I'm having a hard time finding clear plans for forced air burner builds but believe I can figure it out from what I've seen and read. My question is whether it's worth it? I'm hoping the forced air will lower my propane consumption. I can whip up a variable speed switch to a squirrel cage blower, but would probably start with just a set speed blower. My hope is to start forge welding. Given the size of the firing space I was thinking of using a 1/2 black iron pipe with a 3/4 BIP flare. I'm looking for adivce and more knowledge on the pros and cons. I'd rather not set up a basal valve and thermocouple or solenoid and all that stuff. Sorry for the wall of text.
