Harley Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Test firing of the burners of a two burner gas forge we are building . Next is to cut out the doors on the two end caps and add kaowool and ITC 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shimanek Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Looking good; I am in the middle of doing a 4 burner for heat treating sword length blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 What are the dimensions on that body? I've been trying to figure out how many burners to go with as I'm starting with a 3' length of 8" pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlreif Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Test firing of the burners of a two burner gas forge we are building . Next is to cut out the doors on the two end caps and add kaowool and ITC 100. Your flames look good. If I may ask is that going to be the burner placement as far as how deep into the forge? It has been my experience that you should raise the burners up quite a ways. The way they are positioned now it will be an oxygen rich environment being that close to the floor. And also will create cool spots. Sorry if you already know this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking-sword Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Looks good and it looks like a thick double layer of insulation will cover most of the burner tubes inside the forge. If you have much if any burner tube sticking out or even faced even with the interior liner wall they will burn up pretty fast if your doing much forge welding, even if the nozzles are stainless. I'm using a pair of T-Rex burners in mine and I positioned them at an angle for more of a swirling flame (seems to distribute the heat more uniformly). Also looks like you have the burners tuned good, looks like a real fire breather. Wes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
