July 1, 201411 yr I am trying to find a chart that will tell me the rosebud BTU to heat 3.5" round bar. I have been looking online and cannot find one. I have a 280,000 BTU rosebud and i am not sure if it will be big enough. I am quoting a job where I will have to forge the end of a 3.5" bar. I need a short heat because the rest of the bar is heat treated. As well the bar is 14 feet long so it would be difficult to get it from the forge to the hammer.
July 1, 201411 yr Propane forge with water hose attachment? Move the forge when it's time to work it!
July 2, 201411 yr Turn up the power. It might take awhile and it depends on how much forging you need to do on the bar. Good luck.
July 2, 201411 yr Maybe this is a good reason to purchase that induction forge you've always wanted??? or should that read: "the induction forge I've always wanted"
