[TheForge] atmospheric forges getting hot

[Ralph Sproul]

Thanks Ries,  A glass blower in the next town over about 15 years ago came
up with a ceramic nozzle that is about 5-6 inches in diameter and that
needed a blower(but put out large amounts of BTU's).  Are these burner
flare/chambers (that Phillip makes) that big or more like the flare on a
regular burner only with multiple holes(like a rosebud)?
