[TheForge] Propane Users tank sizes and usage

[Dan Brewer]

You folks need to look at the Porter style burners for your forges.  I can
get several days of use out of my 20 pound tank.  The only time it freezes
up is when I am using the setup in near freezing temps.  As in low 40s high
30s.  I run a 3/4 inch burner in a 20lb propane size forge and usually have
to throttle it back because I am over heating the metal.

Mark,

My whisper daddy will run maybe 3 to 4 hours on 20
pounds.

That anvil stand look familiar.
