500,000 btu
« on: November 11, 2010, 04:03:00 PM »
Saw a  weed burner in Fleet Farm listed at 500Kbtu, $40. Can this be used in a propane forge? Will it need to be held in place or simply "stuck into" the forge? Anyone using one?

I was thinking of asking the same question about weed burners. I hope someone here has tried it and will be able to say yes or no to using one.

I use a weed burner from harbour freight in my forge. The forge is stacked firebrick, with the torch angled in and up at the back, so as to swirl the heat and flame.
