Put a reg on it that goes up to 2 bar of pressure and it worked like a charm :-)

Thanks, I had a feeling that the gas throughput wasn't high enough but my buddy who does a lot of welding for work assured me that it would be enough so I went with it. I'll go shopping for a new reg today and report back. I really appreciate y'all being willing to give the new girl a hand!

I've emailed them and I'm waiting to hear back. As for the choke settings I've played with them a bit but it didn't have a huge impact. I'll have a bit more of a play today. I appreciate the help :-)

I'm close to sea level and it sounded like jet but every time the breeze kicked up it would pulse and sputter.

I'm in Adelaide, Australia. I've got the regulator open about 2/3 to 3/4 of the maximum possible pressure (2.8kPa is the listed max pressure, and Australian regulators don't seem to have pressure gauges to be more precise). None of the photos of the reg on the gas tank (8.5kg) are uploading properly. The heat issue is when the doors are closed and open. This was the first time I tried it out and after an hour I figured I'd stop burning gas and ask for help.

Hi everyone! I'm new to blacksmithing and just set up my first forge at home and after burning it for about an hour it still wasn't get hot enough to work the steel. Was I simply being impatient or is there a problem I need to address? I've attached a video of it while it was on so you can see the inside space and how it was burning. Any suggestions and help appreciated. Thanks. WP_20161026_14_28_03_Pro.mp4
