[TheForge] Building a propane forge

[Jerry Frost]

Mike:

When you say "swirl" I assume you're refering to vortices. Are you refering
to numerous turbulence vortices or a tube length vortex?

I love Vortices, they're SO useful once harnessed.

Working a paycheck job with a 2 hr a day commute keeps me from taking part
in threads during the work week so I'll reserve what the propane gurus have
explained to me about the difference between propane "gas" and "vapor"
except to say it's an industry distinction refering to behaviorial
characteristics rather than dictionary definitions.

Whew! Was that a runon sentence or what? <grin>
