bigb Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I have seen a lot of forges with the burner right on top at 12:00 and some with the burner at about one or two o'clock. When I posted my original drawing Frosty suggested I put my burner down a bit more for a swirl effect. Looking for input on where exactly to make the hole.

TFT Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Put your burner right on your "4in" height line... parallel to the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey98118 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 You should forget about where people think they should put a burner in a tunnel forge. The whole point of oval and "D" shaped forges is their wider floors. The more time an incoming flame spends impinging on a tough floor area, the easier that flame is going to be on the much more tender forge wall and ends. So, please listen to Frosty, and move your burner further down, aim it at an more horizontal angle (more like four o'clock). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFT Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Maybe my mental image of a clock is off but the "4 o'clock" angle would be impinging on the tender walls more.... but im just "people". And yea i dont have hundreds of years of forge building under my belt but i know what a clock looks like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigb Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 I am very confused as well. Tonight I will draw up a sketch with various positions and post it. I have considered two burner ports, one for swirl and one for hot spot heating on the floor and just capping the unused port, not sure how that would work.

Mikey98118 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I meant that those that would be the point at which the burner port intersected the shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
