[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

Easiest is probably to add another burner.

I have a side draw burner venturi propane forge (used a tee for air intake)
with time and tricks my forge gets to welding temps It is right at the 2350
but I'm greedy . I want more heat 2600-3K  would be a dream so I'm thinking
of adapting these burners to blown . Ether remove the mig tip or enlarge.
Move it down past the intake add a fan to the side and turn down the
pressure.  So here are my question.
1) do you think it will get me the extra heat?
2) can this venture design be adapted
3) what psi does blown work at 1-2? Or more
4) what size fan in cfm  should I be looking for my thought are a dc motor
so I can put a rheostat on it although some AC motor can also.
Thank for the input
Dan Scheid
Ps this is my 5th or 6th forge with venture burners  all from 3/4 tubes to
1" tubes this on is the 1" with I think a 2 1/2 tee but I can't remember.
