Steve Sells Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 wouldnt it make more sense to contact Law enforcement in NJ ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Steve, The best source for legal questions, in New Jersey, is the N. J. state Attorney General. Ignorance of the law is NO defense: so lay people (non-lawyers) have to get it from somewhere. In many jurisdictions the A.G. is legally obliged to supply same. I'm not sure about N.J. but the odds are, that it applies there too. SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 There may also be local codes or ordinances. Check with your city or township. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneCoeArtistBlacksmith Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 And if you check with them they probably don't have a clue about forging and gas forges. I doubt that there is a problem but who knows what some bureaucrat will think. I know that there are many blacksmiths and bladesmiths in NH using gas forges. Let me know if I can help you.

ThomasPowers Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I'd ask first if it's against the law to have a propane grill.... and build your gas forge in a propane grill carcass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey98118 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 There are lots of legal limitations on propane equipment, WHICH DON'T APPLY IF YOU USE OTHER FUEL GASES. You know; like polypropeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Polypropeline is what? I would appreciate a clarification. I looked it up on Wikipedia, and did not find anything. thanks, SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkie Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Polypropylene is a plastic compound, propylene is a combustible gas *similar* to propane. Google them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Charles, Where should I drop the poly? Oklahoma is a long drive away. I wondered how POLY- propylene. could be used as a combustible gas. The "propeline" misspelling threw me off. Propylene gas burns hades hot. If you want hotter acetylene is the ticket. Charles and Arkie thanks. Your clarification helped a lot. SLAG.

Mikey98118 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 dory about the mental slip. Propylene fuel gas is what replaced MAPP gas in Canada and America; it is about one-third hotter than propane, and costs about one third more, when purchased in commercial cylinders from your local welding supplies store. What matters to you is that it and other fuel gases have way less legal restrictions than propane does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles and Arkie thanks. Your clarification helped a lot. SLAG. The latest "MAPP" gas we use in our hand torches is mainly propylene. Quoting Wiki....."In early 2008, true MAPP gas production ended in North America when production was discontinued at the only remaining plant in North America that still manufactured it. However, many current products labeled "MAPP" are, in fact, MAPP substitutes. These versions are composed almost entirely of propylene with minuscule impurities of propane (<0.5%).[1] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
