This is all true. For me though, the galvanized pipe was left over from a job at my work. I like saving when I can so this was one of those instances. I appreciate your comments though. Down the road if I decide to become a 2 burner man I will definitely keep those tips in mind.

I got it figured out. I ended up grinding the 3/4" black iron pipe a little bit and got it to fit. Then I primed and coated everything wtih high temp paint. Works great.

Thanks guys. Mikey I must have missed that part. What happens when you read it on a phone I guess. However, I wasn't going to have a slot in the sleeve. I was going to just have a tapped hole with a thumb screw for adjustment. Mr. Rotblatt, that sounds like a great idea. I will probably give that a shot.

Hey guys! First time posting but been reading and browsing as a guest for awhile. I am currently building my first propane forge and have a question. I am building a burner similar to the one in Mike Porter's book Gas Burners for Forges, Furnaces, and Kilns. I have all the parts and am working on the vent and choke sleeves for the accelerator tube. I have seen many designs that use a choke sleeve and everyone seems to find a pipe that nicely slides on their 3/4" or 1" black iron pipe. I however have not been so lucky. I cannot find anything that will fit without a huge gap around the smaller diameter pipe. Do I need to just suck it up and file and grind the larger diameter pipe to fit or am I missing something here.
