Hi all, first post here. I'm in the middle of building my first forge setup, and I followed Frosty's T Burner instructions as closely as I possibly could. The burner came together just fine, but I'm seriously struggling trying to understand how to hook up my propane bottle. I got the parts listed in the guide, but also added a needle valve and shutoff ball valve. After looking around a bit, I noticed pictures of people with the rubber hose connected directly to the back of the burner, but my fittings are all wrong for that since I have a flare fitting. (I know basically nothing about plumbing and these fittings, so please go easy) What kind of connector/fitting do I need to hook up directly to the propane hose, and is that recommended? I can't seem to find anything that is similar to what's listed in Frosty's guide, and I don't want to have 10 different adapters throughout my setup, haha.
Ideally, I think I'd like a needle valve right after the burner to adjust the amount of propane in my forge, then a shutoff valve somewhere near the forge itself in case I need to kill the gas quickly, then the hose would go over to the regulator/propane tank. Does that sound reasonable or am I making it too complicated?
Thanks for your help!
