[TheForge] Propane Users tank sizes and usage

[Dann]

Dan,

Interesting...
Mike Porters burner  uses a mig tip for the propane orifice? .. hmmm.

Guessing here:  as Zoeller Forge is selling Porter's book,   the LP 
BURNER that Larry Zoeller made for me  a couple years ago, is 
probably a "Porter" type Burner.

Rather than hunt down parts,  I couple years  back, I  asked Larry to 
include everything for the burner, including the regulator, and 
hose.  Just add BBQ LP tank: have complete forge burner.

I thought it was a good value.    Consider the time spent running to 
the hardware store... not knowing exactly what you are looking for... 
so feeling a bit like an idiot while searching through 
catalogs.  Then choosing, ordering and getting a one of a kind item 
that my small "mom and pop" hardware store will probably never order 
again... and then  when the part comes in.... <grins> finding out 
that it was the wrong fitting.

Yuppers! It was a great value.

Looking at Zoeller's new web page, I see that Larry has all that 
stuff listed now.

Then I  had another brain fart... Maybe this Porter Burner is similar 
to what Frosty helped Rich Fizzell assemble  a couple years ago.  I 
think that Rich said his burners also use a mig tips for the propane orifice.

Rich  said he really liked Frosty's burners, and used them to 
replace  the stock burners that came with his Whisper Momma.

<big stupid grins>
