I recently bought a 2 burner forge and have been able to heat up and move some metal but have not been able to attain welding temperatures. The overall size is 18 x 8 x 8.5. There is a rear door and all 5 closed sides are lined with 2 Inches Kaowool. I have 2 venturi burners and am running about 8 lbs PSI on the gas. I am getting an orange glow and an infrared temp gun shows a temp of just about 1000 degrees. Any tips on tweaks I can make to get that temp higher?
