[TheForge] Modified Side-Arm Burner Troubles

Sounds like you have the forge closed up too much, try opening it up some
more.

Having the jet even slightly off center will have a detrimental effect. This
will make it more sensitive to back pressure.

If it ain't forged
it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
