Right I  was trying to say that the O2 is limited by the Hi % of Nitrogen in 
the  air.
You are  also are heating and exhausting the nitrogen so you are  loosing 
potential heat.
The Propylene sounds interesting.
I might  try swapping a 11/4" "T-Rex" AB for my blown burner in my vertical 
pipe  forge.
If the burner is located at least 10" below the billet door opening,  it is 
way more efficient than a horizontal pipe  forge.

Especially important tasks deserve particular tool designs dedicated to  
doing them best. The tube forge is a general light duty portable forge, and will  
always be beaten by specialty forges at specialty tasks.
