Here are answers to common questions about propane forge burners. If you need additional help, please contact us.
Why is my forge burner flame yellow instead of blue? +
A yellow flame indicates incomplete combustion, usually caused by insufficient air intake. Check that the air choke or shutter is open enough, the orifice is clean, and there are no obstructions in the mixing tube. Adjust the air-to-gas ratio until you achieve a tight blue flame with a greenish inner cone.
Why won't my forge reach welding temperature? +
Common causes include insufficient BTU output for your forge volume, poor insulation, a blocked orifice, or low gas pressure. Verify your burner's BTU rating matches your forge size, check insulation for gaps, and ensure your regulator is delivering adequate pressure.
My burner keeps going out. What is wrong? +
This could be caused by low gas pressure, a faulty regulator, wind drafts, or an improperly adjusted air shutter. Check your propane tank level, inspect the regulator, and adjust the air shutter to achieve a stable flame. Consider adding a wind shield if forging outdoors.
How can I improve my forge's fuel efficiency? +
Ensure proper insulation with ceramic fiber blanket and refractory coating, tune your burner for a tight blue flame, use an adjustable regulator to find the minimum pressure that maintains forging heat, and seal any gaps in the forge body.
