Instead of pipe dope can I use plumbers tape because I have a lot of it lying around.also would this method of connecting pipes be as propane efficient as most methods of connecting burners together? Thanks for the help and I think I will either go with method 2 or 3 just deciding if plug or elbow is better. I will be sure to show you photos when it is done

Also is there a connector shaped so one pipe comes in and 3 pipes exit out if there is one could I then connect pipes from that or would it be to thick. If to thick how can I join the pipes together?

Will your propane bottle support the draw of three *burners* at the same time?

If so then a manifold with 3 "out lines" each with a valve on them should do if all the piping is sized for the amount of gas to be traveling through it at the pressures you desire.

I was thinking about just using the 3 burners to disperse the heat evenly across the forge so if 1 burner is at max power I would use that much gas to disperse across all three burners

Hi I am building my forge at the moment and I just need to make the burners although I need 3 burners for my forge. What I want to know is how to connect all 3 torches together so the gas can disperse evenly through each torch. My design I also have a ball valve on each torch so I can cut each one off seperatly any time I need. If anyone could help me with this I would really appreciate it.

I am at about the same stage as you with my forge except my firebricks are in and shiracrete. I am not sure if one torch will be enough to space the heat properly I think 2 torches will be better for your design but again I don't know to much. Thanks though for showing me how you are putting your torch in with the screw method I have been trying to figure out how I would place my torches thanks.
