Thanks Frosty, We just moved from Palmer to Talkeetna about a year ago. Both kids are graduated and we found a place we love. After the nastiness with covid-19, I would love to swing by and chat. Thanks for the info on burner placement. So if I get you right it would look something like this. Just trying to do it right. I have 100# propane bottle but with inefficient as the old forge was we burned through it pretty quick. We made a ton of hooks, leaves and then I finally made my first tool. A pair of tongs. channel lock plyers just wasn't cutting it.

Hello all, My name is Michael. This is my first post but I have gone through this thread and many otheres. My son and I started forging last summer. The forge we have we bought off Etsy. Its not the best and not very well insulated so I am building a new one. I have read this thread along with many others and want to make sure I am on the right path. My main question is about burner angle. I get that you want the flame to hit something that can take the abuse and yet still circulate around the forge. Below is what I have and what I plan to do. Party Helium tank (approx 9.5 diameter and 12.75 long outside measurments) I purchased my forge supplies and burner from Larry Z. 1@ Z burner 8# 1in Insulating blanket Enough HarbisonWalker International INSWOOL to do two layers Ins-tuff Ceramic-Fiber Rigidizer Kast-0-lite 30 Plistix 900F Here are a couple quick pics I drew up. Not to scale, just eyeballing. Do either of these burner angle look correct? I am planning on pouring a Kast-O-Lite floor and putting in fillets so there are no sharp edges on the floor.
