Hello, new member here,
So we just built my 1st forge. It's a propane ribbon burner forge. It's a bit larger than some because I want to do armor making not just your typical knife and tool making. It's very beautiful however it does tend to make a lot of noise. I'm wondering if it is the mix of gas and air or if There's something else I can do to reduce the noise. There are actually 2 baffles in the system, one in the pipe and one in the burner. (Pic of the one in the burner)
The Body and doors and floor have an inch and a 1/2 of Kayo wool covered with an inch of Refractory cement. There are 2 controls for the air. So even if I have the Vents closed on the blower I can reduce the air even more. There is a valve on the pipe to allow Adjustment of the propane seperate from the regulator.. the other issue we found is the metal on the front keeps bowing when hot, we have yet to attach the front door, and are trying to figure out what to do about this.

We will also add a retractable roll bar to the front and handle on the back door. Thank you in advance for your help and feedback.
