This propane burner works well for my application which is heating a small 5-gallon can size furnace to melt aluminum. My furnace is lined with refractory so there is substantial mass to heat and the burner does it fairly quickly on the first heat (appx 1/2 hr) and then melts additional metal quite quickly after that. I am using a high pressure 30psi regulator and a regular BBQ sized tank of propane, which seems to last more than 10 hrs. I have to adjust the regulator quite high to keep the flame at the tip, but I haven't messed much with adjusting the air. The flame mostly stays at the tip nicely and makes a very different sound if it jumps back to the gas orifice. The parts are all nicely drilled, not excessively finished. The hardware holding the gas orifice allows it a little too much wiggle, might help if I tighten it a bit. The flared SS tip is nice. This is worth buying if you are busy and prefer not to build this yourself, it is simple and seems like it will last awhile, and is built better than I would if I was doing it for myself, so it is kind of a pleasure to have around and use.Read full review

Worked great right away. It got 1/2 inch rebar red hot in a few minutes. Great Flame and flare design. I am sort of a perfectionist, and a couple of the set screws were not drilled spot on but does not affect the working flame or design of this burner. The other burners I was considering were twice the price or more. Super Happy with the product, and at the price you can buy 2 if needed for a larger forge or higher heat needs. Also It idles great at 2-3 psi and for me no need to change the choke when I go to 10 -15psi, still operates smooth.

This is the best burner I could possibly ask for. It seats perfectly in my steelbody forge, and is incredibly reliable. I've been using it, about 6 hours a day, for the last week, and it hasn't flamed out once. I've used other burners, and had nothing but problems. I cranked the gas all the way up, with minimal adjustment to the choke, and hut welding temperature in under a minute. Thank you for making such a fantastic product.

I am trying my hand at forging and bought this to build my home forge. Works exactly as advertised!! Easy to set up, nice size, and puts out plenty of heat!

To the best of my eye the burner is absolutely everything it was advertised to be. I still have my forge under construction and I fully anticipate that this burner will provide the heat necessary to operate the forge as desired!
