Thanks Charles.  I made a cheap coffee can forge and have been using a simple torch head with extension hose to a 20lb tank for the first few modules.  It's working, but its time to upgrade.  I'd prefer to just purchase a burner from someone who has experience with building them.  

In those first few modules, I have made some tools already!  Chisels and bending forks etc.  I have a few found blacksmithing tools as well.  Just need a bigger chamber than what I have, and more BTUs than this silly torch can put out lol.  

It looks like T burners on eBay with a reg are like 40-60$.While an Atlas 100k burner with reg is like 60-80$.  Is there anyone who has compared the 2?

Hello gang.  I'm new and have been reading as much as I can through the stickies.  I am picking up a burner as a Bday present for myself.  Chamber size for the forge I am building will be between 150 and 250cui.  I am making the forge out of a 40mm ammo can.  I am taking the Essential Craftsman class online, and plan on making small trinkets and knives.  

My question is have you guys taken a look at the Atlas burners?  They have a 30k BTU and 100k BTU burner.  Would I be good to pick up one of those or should I grab a frosty t 3/8" or 3/4" from eBay? Or is there a better location to pick one up?  I want the reg and 1/4 turn ball valve too.

Thanks for any info and pointers!
