Bought this forge for my son. It came about two weeks ago but today was the first time he could get down to trying to forge something. Hate to say it but I'm a bit disappointed and hoping it's only a learning curve. We've watched the video on how to light it but there was no way it was lighting (turn fan to half way, light your propane torch, turn on the propane until it lights). Even with the gauge at 20psi it wasn't lighting. Finally we backed off the fan and it lit, but was in sputtering mode for 20 minutes. I cranked the fan back up and it started running but any thing less than 15psi and it would start to die, even while trying to adjust the fan speed. He forged one knife with it this afternoon but the forge really isn't hot. No way xx xxxx he's going to weld in it. I'm hoping we're doing something wrong. Read this and other reviews with people talking about 2 or 4psi operation but this one won't do it.
Any suggestions are appreciated. FWIW, he has and uses a coal forge and has worked on a naturally aspirated propane forge. Not too much of a newbie.
Thank you.
