Big Fudge Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hello I recently built a new Venturi forge burner due to my old one being unreliable and kinda trashy. The burner works amazing outside of the forge I’ve got a nice strong blue flame with little excess but the moment I put it in the forge I lose that flame and it just starts shooting yellow flames out the side like I’m getting no oxygen. Is it my forge or something with my burner? I will upload some pictures if needed but any basic tips or tricks to play around with would be incredibly helpful thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkertim Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hi Big Fudge, Welcome to IFI. Your going to have to help us help you. For a start, we need way more info: 1. Where are you in the world? (add your location in your profile, as the advice you are given can be dependant on the laws, materials, etc. where you live). 2. As getting a Forge and Burner to work in harmony is about the right balance of so many variables, we need detailed descriptions of your Forge construction. eg. internal dimensions, insulation materials, lining materials, size of openings, etc. We also need detailed info about your burner. eg. size and length of mixing tube, size of gas jet, etc. 3. We absolutely need pictures of the burner, running in and out of the forge, as well as pictures of inside the forge, looking at the burner exit, just after it has been lit, as well as a short, small-sized video clip that shows the flame behaviour inside the forge just after having been lit. There are very experienced guys on the forum who can help to diagnose your issue, but they haven't a chance without you posting up the info I've suggested. So get that info posted and we can start to get you sorted. Cheers, Tink! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fudge Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Hey Guys I just wanted to come back and say I did figure it out! My forge was too small and wasn’t getting oxygen so there was no combustion in the forge but I built a new one which is even better! Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
