Simian Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Hi All. Can anyone recommend a starting point for size & number of holes in a ribbon burner for a 1/2" frosty burner? Or am I on my own in a whole new frontier? is a 1/2" feasible for a ribbon burner? FWIW, this is for a pretty small forge that will be mainly used for (small) damascus billets, and will be used at sea level. But I'd like to get the interior at the most even heat possible Ta!

Buzzkill Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) I posted some details about the NARB powered by a 1/2" T burner I built a few years ago here: https://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/48001-naturally-aspirated-ribbon-burner-photo-heavy/?do=findComment&comment=582247 You may have to scroll down a bit to get to it. [Mod note: link edited to go directly to comment with burner details.] I used that in a forge whose shell was a disposable freon tank. I had no trouble forge welding with it.

Buzzkill Posted October 14, 2024 Share Posted October 14, 2024 IIRC it was about 240 cu. in. That was 3 forge bodies ago though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
