I used a piece of mig wire. I could feel the burr on the inside and went around the entire inside edge to make sure it was clean.

Mikey, I took close to 3/8” off of the tip. I cut them off if in increments of about 1/8” and tested it. What exactly am I looking for? More of a cone with less of the orange flame?

Thanks frosty, I’m waiting on my rigidizer now. In the meantime, I built this.

Thanks Brandon. I went with 2” insulation all around with firebrick on the floor. I’ll post a pic of what I have so far. I just don’t know if my burner is hot enough or what kind of flame I need to achieve. I still need to mount my burner, make some kind of door and I think I’m going to put a tray in the front, but here’s how it looks so far. IMG_3235.MOV

Good morning, I’m in the process of building my forge. I’ve made me burner and just wanted any input or advice as to how the flame looks. Will it be hot enough to forge weld? Also, as far as firebrick vs insulation. Will insulation walls correlate to a hotter forge since the brick will absorb some of the heat or will the brick act as a radiant heater once the heat has soaked in? Here’s the burner in a make shift housing of fire bricks. I’ll be building the housing later today.
