March 25, 20179 yr iamjoe, You took the trouble to post a video of your burner running, and while I would rather not comment on it, it looks like no one else well, so here goes. The flame it produces is rather poor. While it has a vague resemblance to my burner design, its details show it isn't even close. Review the information in the Burners 101 thread, and you can greatly improve it. You really need to improve that flame if you plan to use it in your mini-forge, or the forge will be heavily reducing (lots of carbon monoxide in its exhaust), and won't get very hot. Sorry, but there it is.

Sorry, but there it is. It's a learning process. If I expected perfect I'd bought one. Thanks for the truth. I can handle it. Here's a video of it running. 20170213_204531.mp4 20170213_200559.mp4 On a positive note, I was able to make this.
March 25, 20179 yr Here is another positive note: The forge is getting much hotter than I had expected. You will need to make sure your work area has a fan-flown exhaust cleansing the air anytime you are running the forge, because its exhaust looks heavily reducing. I think you are doing well--so far--and hope you keep improving that forge and burner.

Don't need to be passing out in my shed. I'll do some research and see if I can improve it.
March 25, 20179 yr BTW, I liked the hexagonal forge shell, and am sure people with easy access to sheet metal well consider it long and hard, sense a propane burner and some silver braze alloy can make it simple to stick together.
