Wow, this is really good information! New here, first time posting and looking for ideas/knowledge for this style of burner. Frosty - have you experimented with (or seen) using the "ports" in an angled fashion? I'm wondering if the middle row vertical and the outside rows at a slight outward angle would be beneficial in any way? Thought maybe a better "swirl" or something similar in the forge? I don't know, just thought..."hmmm, wonder if someone has tried that before?"
I'm going to start my first ribbon build soon so I appreciate all the effort and time this took (and continues to take) from all on here!
