Brian D Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 The burners sure do look nice and clean. Nice job! Have you test fired them yet? Do you have plans for a flare or flame holder? I'd like to see the finished forge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapsteel Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Aloha Brian, Yes I made a 4th prototype for testing ( which has a tip on the end to hold the flame as the ones in the pics now do as well, I was able to operate the burner from 4-50 psi w/ propane with a very stable and hot neutral looking flame, I was very happy that I did not even need a slide/air collar, the initial tests were impressive, these burners have custom venturi's which create very stable yet high output flames, I will keep you posted, I too cannot wait to finish my forge and continue to test/try out (awaiting refractory to line fire bricks). Zap The burners sure do look nice and clean. Nice job! Have you test fired them yet? Do you have plans for a flare or flame holder? I'd like to see the finished forge.

Brian D Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Sounds good. How about sharing your custom venturi profile? I would be interested to see it. Remember that you will likely need to do a little fine tuning to the burners after placing them in the forge chamber in relation to the "open air" environment. Looks and sounds like you are on track. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
