GAAAA...NO! I will look now lol. I've been really lazy lately....everything is bus. Have had no time for forging at all. Hopefully order supplies this week though...

I'm waiting impatiently for a frosty ribbon burner plan that caters to my thick head lol.

Yes sir lol. I'll be back with a progress report hopefully sooner than later.

Yeah, that's above my pay grade lol....I've got reading to do.

Thanks Frosty, I was hoping it was that simple!

Boy, I've been away too long...so much more info now! I need..want...to upgrade to a ribbon burner I think. Currently running a frosty ³/4 t burner in a 25lb propane tank forge. I may have missed this so please excuse me if so...can I convert that to fit the plenum? Is tube length needing modified? Thanks

Suggest away! You guys know your stuff and don't want a sucky forge! Thanks!

Lol! My problem is I'm a terrible troubleshooter....great at fixing and making things though. I need thorough instructions or I overcomplicate things. Doesn't help that everyone has an opinion and Google throws at you. Thank God there's sites like this with people who know how and why things work to steer us along.

Not a bad first try lol, thanks to everyone who's posted tutorials and offers advice!! I'm not happy with several things about this forge (the way i made it) but now I know what to do differently next time. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get a chance to mess with it a bit more.

Well....slowly made progress, forgot to take pics along the way.... Here I am today..first firing...hows it look? Rebar was in there just for fun...turned red (inside the forge, took it out couldn't see it) in 3 min roughly, wadnt really keeping an eye on it. Don't seem to sputter....sounded like a weed burner. Still new to this do I'm not exactly sure what to look for in flame color....and should I fire a few small times to break it in? Burner angle is off abit still I just got my tap today. Thanks

Great stuff guys!! This is very interesting. I like the idea of the burner letting off heat in a bigger area. The only thing im wondering is why the burners aren't even longer to cover more area. I've read the pdf on Wayne's site [blower powered)..are there any other good reads on narb setups so I can understand the relationship between plenum size and nozzlettes? Or is it all just trial and error? Thanks....

Ahhh....i didn't see doors so I thought it was still under testing stage.

I've used a palm sander with no sandpaper on it on concrete countertops to get air out. Would that work good for this also?

Thanks for your thoughts! I'm gonna keep it simple and easy...traditional.

So.....i just read forged 101 newest post...it mentioned frosts flange mount for his burners. I had thought about welding a couple to the inside of my tank and threading the burner directly....not sure how bad an idea that is....thoughts?
