I Forge Iron

Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

Newbie here. Name is Chris. Wheatland, WY is home. Just got a 4 burner LP forge. Checked it out a few days ago and got it running fine. I don't have any experience with forging, only a desire to make some things. Looking around the net trying to get some drawings/sketches of tongs so I can make some.

Hope to glean some experienced knowledge from you all. How long would a 20lb. bottle of propane last running only 2 burners? I am looking for a 100 lb. bottle, but only have the 20 for now.

welcome to the group!
Really depends on how hard you run them and how big they are. best to light her up and find out.
You might ice up running on one tank though. I like to use 2 small tanks as they do much better for me than one big tank and they are easier to load up.

Also my first was also a 4 burner, I have only needed the back burner once so I plug it 1/2 way up and just run two burners. that makes it way more efficient.


My test was on only 2 burners and it seemed to have plenty of heat so I thinnk I will be sticking to 2 burners for now.
