Wait a second are you saying you don't even need a regulator with a forced air burner or do you mean the needle valve is cheaper than a globe valve? Because I bought a 0-20 psi regulator back when I was planning on using a Venturi burner.

I did not know that. Is there any reason to have a needle valve on the propane side if you have a regulator? Also. Is there any reason the design I specified wouldn't work?

My apologies for not giving my location, this was an account I originally made to use for a couple of days since I couldn't log into my other account. As for why needle valves are hard to come by, I should probably be more specific, I can find needle valves here, they are just the wrong size. You see given the covid-19 situation store assistance can not confirm stock over the phone, so I have to use websites.

Thank you flatliner, been working on a design myself working around what I can get in town needle valves are hard to come by here but I think I've got something that should work. I can't draw but here's what I have. A 3/8 flare ball valve connected to my regulator, connected to a 1/2x1 1/2 pipe nipple connected to a 1/2 inch tee. 1/2x1 1/2 nipple connected to a 3/4 to half reducer, connected to a 3/4x1 1/2 nipple, connected to a 3/4 glove valve duct taped to a coleman air mattress pump. On the other side of the tee will be a 1/2x 1 1/2 nipple connected to a 1/2 inch elbow, connect to a 1/2x1 1/2 nipple, connected to a 3/4 to 1/2 reducer

Hey that makes sense, I was honestly just curious.

Can you even make a Jabod with propane?

Okay thank you I must have missed that part.

No offense intended but I don't think that's how that works a pint is a pint doesn't matter how big your Forge is.

Do I need rigidzer I put kastolite 30 on? If so how much will a pint cover?

Okay that makes sense.

Thanks that makes a lot of things make a lot more sense, frosty when you say forced air works better in a closed Forge does that mean I can't use them if I want to weld two really long pieces of steel together?

Ok I was planning on using a dust blower for electronics which from what I found has plenty of air, I was unaware you need a certain size pipe my forge size would be around 350 cubic inches after all insulation is installed. So pretty small what I want for a Forge that size?

Thank you buzzkill you know I went into that expecting forced air to be just as if not more complicated than Venturi with tight tolerances and everything. But just to make sure what you're saying is so long as I can meet the requirements you specified and adjust the air and fuel I should be able to get the correct fuel air mixture right?

With all do respect to this forum, and the people in it it's a mess. On a related note, and I probably should have been more clear on this. I am looking for something of a diagram or name of a proven burner. I can look again at the gas forge section ( I looked through the first 10 pages pages or so of burners 101 and got no where). Or would you suggest a different section of gas forges? As for why I was looking at a forced air it was not just due to altitude which I was unaware has been debunked but also I'm assuming a forced air burner would tolerate high humidity and wind better than a Venturi.

First thing is I'm not looking for a ribbon burner, this is just the only section I could find for any kind of burner. I know if you're getting a Venturi burner a solid choice is the frosty t. However I am at a high altitude and overall think a forced air burner would be better. Are there any tried and true forced air burners that I can buy or are not to complicated to make.
