[TheForge] Re: Petrogen torch yak

[Michael H. Murphy]

Maybe something like the Coleman stove setup, with a single orifice instead
of the stove-type burner.  Probably have to do a bit of testing, and there
go the eyebrows again.

Actually, the propane forges I now use are pretty good, and I don't have a
lot of time for testing and experimentation.  I plan to save a lot of these
ideas for when I retire from the computer business and can do
blacksmithing/metalworking full-time.  Of course, by that time someone will
have figured out how to use a battery of small lasers to heat his iron.
