[TheForge] Propane supply problem

[Marc Godbout]

Thanks for all the input from everyone so far. I did try to get help
from our fire marshal, who is the code enforcement officer in this
subject. He never stated that anything was against code, but was
unwilling to advise on anything higher than 10 psi because he found no
references or charts going higher than that. Mostly it sounded like
weasel-wording to avoid liability.

Terry, would you have any reference to flare connections not being good
over 5psi? I need to hunt again, but I did find some reference to flare
being good at much higher pressures. I only remember it was from a
Canadian website.

I could probably be the "authority", but I don't meet the other
requirements. I wouldn't trust my meager welding skills to something
like this. Maybe I could qualify as a research facility. After all, I'm
constantly learning something new :-)

Methinks I'll stick with the 5psi and play with the burners some more.
That seems to work for enough people, so why not me? My only problem may
be oxy-propane cutting, but I could get around that with a small BBQ
tank, if need be.
