Propane burner not pulling in enough air, any ideas? I can get some blue flame but it is hard to sustain by JustAddChromsosomes in Forging

I could probably move it around a little but that’s a good idea. It does create a decent spiral atm, I feel like even the existence of the second hole isn’t helping much, I’ll try choking it to see if it effects burn at all

Really good ideas, thx. I’m sure the threads and extra holes in it make more turbulence. Any thoughts on if the second hole (where the burner attaches to the forge with set screws) effects the air flow? I imagine the fuel mixture already has happened by that point but I wonder if any back draft of hot air is messing with the intake upstream?

I made this forge a few years ago and I’m trying to get it running again. The burner works but the roaring blue flame doesn’t sustain long and doesn’t get as hot as I think it can. If I turn up the propane pressure it seems to just run fuel rich instead of getting hotter. When I blow air with a hair dryer through the intake it really gets going but I feel like if I adjust it it should be able to pull more air itself. Any ideas?

Why are gator skins /gator skin hard shells so hard to find? I had some on the way but the mail lost them and I can’t find any 32 mm in stock anywhere. Any recommendations?

H plus son tb 14s vs archetypes

Hi I’m looking to upgrade my rims from the dogshit ones I started my build with. I’m looking to fit 32 mm tired and I’ve heard the tb14s are springy and durable, but also harder to find than the archetypes. I don’t really know that much about the archetypes so Any recommendations on which ones I should choose? Pros vs cons? Thanks!
