[TheForge] Burner angle

[Kathy]

Harry,
Straight or swirl; it's really not an either or proposition. Why not install two
different burner portals; one for swirl, and the other for spot heating? By
moving the burner back and forth between them, you can use either heating
scheme. A plug of ceramic fiber, piece of firebrick, or what have you may also
be moved back and forth to prevent heat loss through the unused port.

Subject: [TheForge] Burner angle

Hi All,

    I am putting together a small propane forge using a disposable freon 
can. I have made a hole just above the center weld. For alignment what 
should I be looking for? I can add more burners later as needed but to 
start with I am mounting just one. Should I have it blast down dead 
center or angle it to get a swirling effect? I intend to mount a socket 
I can set the burner in so when finished I can pull the burner out.

Please pardon as I am sure this is an oft repeated question. If this is 
info available online, a link would be just grand.

thanks, Harry
