I read the article and it was accurate, straightforward and brief; in short, it
was excellent. Frosty nicely defines the differences in his burner and mine
(it's true that I'd rather build tools than use them :-) 

Also, the lack of nozzle can be very handy if you choose to oxygen enrich or run
hotter fuel gasses, as even propane is enough to melt S.S. nozzles if you're not
careful. For people who want to really turn a forge up high for welding, it is
best to do without nozzles from the start. It is also best for them to do
without ceramic blanket. Kastolight 3000 will stand up much better to prolonged
high heating, and is a fair insulator. So long as it is shop-bound, the lighter
weight ceramic blankets aren't all that desirable in a welding forge.
