It's a gun (blown) burner though right?

In a naturally aspirated burner the propane is injected 
at high velocity and induces intake air by producing a 
vacuum in the confines of the burner tube. A naturally 
aspirated burner's jet has to be carefully sized so it 
induces the correct amount of air for the desired burn.

When properly sized and tuned all you need to do to 
adjust a naturally aspirated burner is adjust the 
propane pressure as induction is a relatively flat 
curve ratio.

Both types of burner work well and have pros and cons 
to consider.

I am pretty sure that the venturi hole in the body of 
my Fogg style forge is 1/16" w/the air/fuel mixture 
being forced through it.
