Sorry to take so long (Traveling, work, life etc) to inform people of how their advice went.

I had built a forge, 0.060" steel body, inside dims 8 X 8 X 18", 2" rigid ceramic board, 2 top mounted tee style burners.
I couldn't get hotter than 1700ºF with the supply pressure at 25ish PSI. I followed some suggested advice (sorry forgot who)and leaned it out (.035 tweeco vs 0.045) and 2100ºF easy to maintain with no other changes.

Yes it is a big box but the thicker insulation really helps.

Thanks to all that commented.

Great forum.

cheers ian
