Get yourself some Kaowool blanket or proper firebrick. When you direct the
burner into a corner formed by such material you will get enough heat to
forge steel.
We use them regularly in the shop I work in to preheat before welding.

I just got home with a pretty good quality 500,000 btu propane burner. The
kind that is a straight pipe, intended probably as a weed burner. I intend
to hook it up to my old rivet forge to heat items I want to twist and bend.

Anyone use one of these for that?

Caveats?

Pointers?

Advice?

It must be a real Bad Boy, as it hooks up direct to a propane tank with NO
regulator.

TIA
