BillyBones Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Running a single burner forge. Reil style venturi. My problem is wind. I am outside with it. In my area it is mostly calm then every few minutes get a wind gust of 10 - 15 mph. This causes my burner to sputter. I can compensate with a little more pressure but when the wind dies i am burning rich. Any suggestions for some sort of wind block? I am afraid that if i just box it in it will make the inside so hot that it can cause a fire hazard. Hope yall had a great Independence day, and everyone is doing good.

swedefiddle Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Rotate it so the wind won't blow in, or, make a shield for the wind. Either that or you can't work on windy days. Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in Oly, WA Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 It's a forge, aren't you trying to make the inside hot? LOL just kidding. Just put together two or three panels (plywood or whatever) with hinges so it can stand up and partially surround the forge on the upwind side. make it taller than the height of the top of the burners. No need to put a top on it and make a box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
