Propane Forge Burner with Regulator, Knife Making Gas Forge Burner for Blacksmithing Metal Foundry Furnace

I like the fast delivery and the metal melting flame this thing shoots out

UPDATE: Lave Forge immediately responded, and sent out a replacement hose for free. This is I really like the fact that the parts they use to assemble the burner uses standard pipe threads, so it really helped in incorporating it into a new forge test build. Discovering the obvious, if you make the hole in the side of the forge big enough to allow the flame cone you can have flame slip around and come back out the hole, this can disrupt the smooth flow of air for the venturi -- not to mention you don't want heat around the hose line. The test flame burns were nice, see video. Luckily while I foolishly lept straight to trying it out, my son said he heard hissing and so I, belatedly, did the soapy water test that I should have done in the first place and sure enough a large leak is at the hose attachment to the high pressure valve, unfortunately I did this after the 30 day return window closed. Amazon eliminated the ability to contact the seller after 30 days so the best I could do is leave a "general feedback" comment on the storefront seller page. I'll update the review if they respond. UPDATE: Lave Forge immediately responded, and sent out a replacement hose for free. This is a very cheap price point to try out using propane. I do wish they'd offered a slightly more expensive option for the hose, e.g. the open close writing on the valve is not embossed or painted a different color making it hard to read. It'd also be nice with the more expensive hose option they included a pressure gauge so you have a hard number you could dial into to reproduce flame levels without trial and error.

Works as described.

Won't stay lit. I can get it to lite at 2psi, but as soon as I try to up the pressure to 4 or 5psi the flame goes out. I’ve tried several adjustments on the air mixture and it still blows out.

Great burner, used for home made forge for small items . Worked as Intended

The flare rapidly begins to glow red, indicating a poorly aligned propane jet and premature and/or incomplete combustion of the fuel. In short, it works, but it's poorly made which limits usability. It's serviceable if you don't need more than 15-20 minutes of heating.

As described

As a tradesman and a blacksmith the unit was easy to assemble. Start up was a breeze compared to my old model I made myself. It melted copper in my foundry almost faster than my original and regulated fuel use better in my opinion. I did have some concern over the fittings provided but they proved to be of sufficient quality and make. So far no leakage at any joints. Hose clamps are non US standard though so grab a metric driver or flat head.

As soon as the propane is turned up the flame goes out. Suitable for a cigarette lighter but not a forge
