[TheForge] atmospheric forges getting hot

[Mike Linn]

I'm using a Sandia Forge (intake preheaters) and at about 9 psi of propane, 
I can get to a nice welding heat. I haven't actually verified the 
temperature, but assuming normal A36 steel Im in the 2600 to 2800 degree 
range. Normally aspirated.
