My apologies, I'll keep it G in the future. I looked into the sidearm burner style and that is very similar to a burner I have made in the past. I'll see what I can do with that with the size constraints I have. And honestly I think we would be casting iron much more often than steel. we would just like the ability to do it. Casting iron however might become a fairly common thing.

Hello, Noob here. Some friends and I are starting on building a foundry. We've done some reading and watched a lot of videos however it is sometime hard to tell who actually knows their stuff and who's just talking out their xxx. So we're coming to you guys because you seem like you know what you're doing. A lot of the burners we have seen are those pipe burners like the one pictured below. I have also heard that ribbon burners are more fuel efficient and superior when it comes to forging, but I do not know if it is better when used in a foundry. (we would like to be able to cast iron or steel). Can I please have the general consensus on which is preferred? (and where to find the recommended blueprints and/or the math to calculate measurements and such). If another type entirely is what is recommended can you please point me in that direction? Thank you very much in advance for any and all help.
