Thanks for that, its kind of what I thought but was hoping that I would not have to redo it from scratch. :mad: Just a thought (long shot actually) you say the burner that is "off and open" will act as a chimney and get very hot, can I assume then that if the choke is fully closed it wont? or am I clutching at straws here?

Hi All I am new to this forum and new to forging in general, so sorry if this has been answered before, searched but could not find specific answer. Have just rebuild my home built gas forge after reading various posts on this forum. I am going from 1 to 2 burners, they are 1" Reil type burners with 0.6mm mig tips. My first single burner I used 1/4" copper tube with brass compression tee's and elbow fittings, with my new double burners I used simple solder type fittings. I did this without thinking if solder type fittings are suitable for this. :confused: In my very short experience the bell reducer which houses the jets does not get all that hot, at least not hot enough to "unsolder" the fittings, does it? Anyone offer any reason why solder fittings wont work? Jeff

Hi to all I am new to this forum and very new to blacksmithing. I am a part time knife maker and have always wanted to forge my own blades as apposed to profiling from blanks. And that is how I ended up on this forum, trolling the web for useful info. Hope to be able to make some useful contributions in the near future.
