Josh A Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I'm trying to find the detailed plans for the Frost "T" burner. I was reading through the forum, and it seems Mr Frost is pretty adamant about not changing his design, and I agree, he's put in the time and effort, I just want to build it. Most of the videos I've seen use 3/4" pipe, but Frost said in another post that to be able to reach forge welding temperatures, you need at least 1.25" pipe. I want to make sure I build it right. The only link I could find here is from 2015, and when I click it says the page has been removed. Someone please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazer Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 It is from 2015, but I'm not getting the page removed error. Here's the link. I'll also attach the PDF just in case. Surely Frosty can speak for himself, but I think his recommendation to follow the directions to a T (ha) is for those who are unfamiliar with building burners. Like myself The ability to reach a forge welding temperature with a single burner is going to depend on the volume of the forge. His recommendation for 1.25" pipe might be for the forge dimensions specified in that thread. T Burner Directions finished.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 You are trying to access it using Debian (bullseye) Linux on a tower system just like me right? Hard to troubleshoot problems not knowing the details... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh A Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 I'm actually on my Android phone. It's not letting me dl the link that Frazer posted either. I'll try again on my computer when I get home, thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzkill Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 FWIW, I and others have used the same instructions and design to build 1/2" versions of the Frosty T burner. There are corresponding changes to dimensions of other parts though. I was able to forge weld just fine with that burner. The temperature you reach is also affected by the tuning of the burner and the size, shape, and heat holding capability of the forge rather than strictly the burner size.

Frosty Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I just noticed the thread. Are you still there Josh? If so stop trying to build a T burner from Youtube videos, most are so wrong it's not worth pointing out why. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Naw Josh, folks can change it all they want. My real objection is people slopping together something with a T oriented like mine but little other resemblance and selling them online as "Frosty T burners." If I didn't want folks using and changing what I came up with I would've applied for a patent not posted plans here and helped anyone who asked. If you've built a burner that works well from Youtube videos good on ya. Please post pictures and the details so we can duplicate it or incorporate features. Frosty The Lucky.
