[TheForge] Ribbon burners

[Jerry Frost]

I have a request from a local bladesmith who wants to 
make a heat treat oven and would like to use a ribbon 
burner. In spite of how many burners I've built I've 
never build a ribbon burner and need some general rules 
of thumb such as:

Number and dia of the burner holes per sq/in. and 
pattern if there is one.

Size of the plenum per length of burner. He wants a 
pretty long forge, upwards of 4 1/2' so I think there 
will need to be a substantial plenum to maintain an 
even pressure to the burner holes.

How much blower? Placement of the blower output in the 
plenum?

And anything else we might need to know.

Thanks,

Frosty
