Brian C. Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I saved the 3 burner set from my old worn out NC whisper Daddy. Has anyone tried these burners on a freon tank forge? Would these three burners be too much for a forge this size? Would I be better off to just weld up a new steel box the approximate size of the original & line it with 1" firebrick?

ladysmith Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I would think 3 burners on a freon tank forge would be over kill. Maybe try a bit larger tank, like a portable air tank. Otherwise, welding up another box seems to make the most sense. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J W Bennett Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Brian, Theres alot of the old style 40# propane tanks around. thats what I have made 2 gas forges out of. I use 2 Ron Reil type burners on mine. I've never had a manufactured forge so I can't give any comparisons. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian C. Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 Thanks folks. I had thought that 3 burners might be just a little bit too much for that size tank. But it would have been a heckuva flame though. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looper567 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 How bad is the shell of that whisper daddy? Can it be repaired and relined? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian C. Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 It is long gone. It was worn out, crumbled away, & burnt -up when I got it years ago & I still got about 3 or 4 more years out of it. I will get a new box to mount the burners on one of these days.

ThomasPowers Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Might be kind of fun to build a scrapped toolbox into a forge with those burners... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
