Hey guys, I appreciate all the help. I have no answer yet for the low pressure fuel system. I dont know if it was NG or LP. I only have access to LP and was going to pick up 100# tank. I do have a 0-30psi adjustable regulator with hose coming and should be here in a couple days. I still have to go online to get my wool coating. It is 2-3 layers deep if you recommend that I pull out half the thickness.
As for the CFM of the blower I also don't know right now but will update as soon as I get home from storm duty (probably tomorrow night 4/19). The power cord for the blower and speed dial is pretty long 20-30'. I know this will be a lot of trial by fire for me as I've never had a forge. But every bit helps and I will use the knowledge given. And yes, the wierd plumbing set-up caught me off guard quite a bit as well. I play with power all day on the poles but I've never been great as an electrician so the fuel solenoid may sit on the back burner for a while, atleast till I get comfortable with this forge and know that it is running well/ consistently.
I did get a picture of the tag. I could remember if I did. Says 50 CFM @ free air
