Hi all, after 2 years of reading on this forum I actually made an account. The main reason is, I have always been able to find all answers to questions just by searching and reading except for 1. For forge building the standard has been discussed and set a whole bunch of times, size, shape, angles, what linings to use, how thick, how to cure the linings, etc. The 1 area I seem to not be able to find much of any information on is the topic of burner to hole in forge, size/ratio. This question specifically relates to venture burners (T-Burner) in a standard forge of 2" Kaowool, Kastolite 30, and plistix. What is the correct ratio? what diameter hole size in the forge to the relationship of the burner/flare size, is there any considerations to the OD vs ID of the burner/flare. Please educate me on this, I feel totally clueless in this area of design for a gas forge.
