Bubble Alumina. I thought it was supposed to be the final thin layer “wash”.

No; to be perfectly honest, I had not even consider the position you contemplate (green line). So long as your flame face is sufficient, I would consider it an excellent plan. Normally, I would suggest a slight change in direction, so the the flame impinged on the floor, but normally" the floor would have a high alumina kiln shelf do withstand impingement, or Kast-O-lite 30 layer over that brick, which I suggest, but it's up to you.

 

Glenn sells small bags of Kast-O-lite 30 for moments like this. I would hate for all that expensive work you're doing fall apart.

I thought the k26 coated in satanite and bubble wash would be OK for direct impingement.

Mike,

Just to make sure I understand the placement and angle of the burner you're suggesting.  I will be using a  small helium tank, 2" ceramic fiber, .5" satanite, Bubble wash, K26 on the bottom.  I was planning on using a top mounted firing to the far side of the K26 (Green) but your saying one of the other colors would be a better option?  I will be using a 1/2" Frosty if that matters.

Thanks

Thanks Irondragon,  If I'm looking at the right stuff on Amazon it is expensive.  What's a good source for the Bubble Alumina?

Wow, Just read through all 64 pages of this thread.  I was a youtube loser, got excited to build a forge and bought Satanite before finding this website.  I didn't see many mentions of Satanite in this thread.  Sounds like you guys prefer different products.  But since I have it I might as well use it.  My questions is do I need to coat it with Plistex or can Satanite be the final coat?
