Hey all,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I have a freon bottle forge w/ 2" ceramic blanket that's rigidized, coated with HW Kalakast AR adtech high alumina refractory with a removable "shelf" casted from the same refractory. I haven't coated with an IR wash yet but that's in the plan.
Anyways, I am running a 3/4" T-burner as spec'd in Frosty's directions. I am getting a good flame (I think), I can get a pic tonight if needed. I am running it outdoors about 30 metres (98') above sea level. When I first fire it up, the flame seems quite unstable and sputters and occasionally goes out until the forge is up to temp. Also, it's happy place seems to be around 12psi.
Could this be a sign of poor air induction and just needs the mig tip (0.035) trimmed, or am I way off base?
Thanks for any assistance, and sorry if I am rambling
Edit: just went and checked, my burner was about 3/8" from the inner wall, so I put it about 1" into the insulation, it must've slipped at some point. I didn't test yet to see if it helped.
Cheers,
Keeley or Sully, whatever's easiest
