Forge or bomb?
Thanks for your kind words!

Forge or bomb?
Update, Order of operation is key! I compare it to lighting an oxyacetylene torch. Straight fuel to start and then add the air. I got a little worried when I shut it down after the first real heat and I could hear the remnants of wax for the crayons sizzling out of the burner. Overall a fun build! I'm considering adding a PID and solenoid valve for heat control.

Forge or bomb?
I'm having trouble tuning the flame on this new ribbon burner forge. The first time I lit it, I got a large flame coming from the door and then a boom when I adjusted the gas. Is the door possibly too small? I'm worried that I might've created a bomb.

2300 IFB propane forge?
I'm looking for recommendations on a castable refractory to line this forge. I found a source that offers satanite high aluminum mortar. Does anyone have any suggestions?

2300 IFB propane forge?
Thanks for the welcome and thanks for the advice! I've been piecing together what info I can find on this. My plan was to use naturally aspirated burners with 11/4" to 3/4" bell to a 10" -3/4" black pipe as the burner body. Attached with set screws to the brass fittings above the mig tips. I feel like I should start over. Any suggestion on a link to a step by step tutorial build. I'll include my location SE Michigan, thanks for the that tip.

2300 IFB propane forge?
I'm wondering what I need to coat the inside of my forge with if anything. Its built out of 2300 IFB. I'm also not sure how to add a flare end to the burner bodies as it goes down into the top. How far into the bricks should I position the bodies? I'm using 3/4" x 10" black pipe. Any other suggestions are welcome. Thanks
