How did I miss that :p thanks for the help

Thanks for the advise Frosty, new to all this but I've tried to do as much research as I could lurking in the forums the past weeks the mixing tube is 8 inch long 3/4. I also have the 1 inch to 3/4 reducer not pictured. Ill get the shut off moved back because yes that does make sense. As for the manometer I meant pressure gauge but I think I'll hold off on that one for now Originally I had a 2 inch pipe leading into a 4x4x4 box i was going to attempt making a ribbon burner or possibly an NARB with it but making the switch to frosty t and going to experiment with that other one in the future Also I'm just curious is there some way to make some form of adjustment nut or screw to back the mig tip forward or back? Just curious, haven't seen anything about that yet.. but I have just recently made the switch thanks for the tip about the other group. That's definitely something I could be interested in. Most likely I will go with the one burner.. i think i am approximately going to be around 300 cubic inches so 2 I think might be damaging to the forge

If the interior of the forge isn't too small that it would become damaged I could also try this set up

Got prepped for welds. Got my refractory in.. decided to try to go with the frosty Tburner. Hoping I will get to forge weld heat with one. Here's what I've got so far. Still need to get high press regulator, manometer and needle valve

Still need to finish getting all the paint off before I can weld my legs and some door hinges. My refractory comes in Tuesday so I'll cut the door holes once she is lined and then set my ledges up. Havent fully committed to a burner yet but would like to come in at a tangent whichever way I go.

I wish I could, I live on Denman Island in the Comox Valley. If I'd have known about it a little earlier, I may have been able to make it down there. Where can I find out about more of these events?

My concern is that i am too small to use a ribbon burner. If so I may go the venturi route but I would prefer ribbon or even NARB. I spent the morning getting all the paint off and prepping for welding.. should have some pics for ya guys tomorow

Hey guys, building my first propane powered gas forge out of a 5 gallon air tank. This is also my first post on this site. Its got a diameter of 10 1/4 inches. I plan on using 2 layers of rigidized 1 inch refractory wool rated for 2600 F (#8) as well as either Mizzou or Kasto-lite 30 in a 1/2 inch layer. The floor may be thicker and will have a piece of kiln shelving to protect from dings and flux. Also a coating of ITC-100 on everything. Now this would leave me with approximately 5" diameter 11.5 inches long. I plan on forge welding damascus billets and smaller items, knives mainly but am giving myself doors on both ends with 5" openings and ledges to give me a pass through if need it and so I can block off either the front or back with a brick if need be. I am working on building a ribbon burner 4x4 but I am concerned that it may be too much with such a small space. Does anyone have any experience with small ribbon burners? Also where would be the best place to put a thermocouple? I'd like to use the forge to heat treat my blades although I do have a kiln should I choose to use that
