How much experience do you have with gas forges to be able to judge the burn?

 

Not a whole lot. Nothing wrong with messing around though.

Its a hybrid of a bunch of designs i found online, standard venturi. it runs great without a blower but i want to add one for fun.

Also as far alignment is concerned is there an existing thread that covers the topic in detail? ive been searching for one for the last week or so to no avail.

Thanks for the timely replies!

its not letting me so close your eyes kids!

I am using a propane tank for my first forge. Ive been trying to come to a good understanding of where to point the flame. My thinking behind my design is the angle and positioning of the burner will make a vortex (Nice turbulence) and avoid using the burner as a chimney when i shut the forge down. from what i understand this could have a negative impact on the longevity of the insulation and potentially drastically reduce the actual material heating efficiency.

Here is my first draft.

I'm going with the standard 2 layers of 1" 2600f inswool and roughly half an inch of refractory.

So basically i am asking if its more desirable to point the flame at the workpiece or in a manner that encourages a nicer vortex.

Also here is my Burner which works pretty great, I might add a blower to it if i can scavenge the right parts.

Feel free to talk xxxx about my design/thinking, you don't grow if you aren't willing to hear feedback.

Thanks!
