Burner design!
Quote from notfeanor on May 5, 2026, 7:41 amCurious as to what folks are using. I'm leaning more towards a blown propane system, but could be convinced to go hybrid/diesel if necessary. No waste oil. Thinking about adapting the Apollo forge ribbon burner system- square forced air ribbon burner, cast into side of furnace wall at tangent. Would a single jet be better though, for vortex and even heat? Pictures welcome. What do y'all use in your furnaces?

Quote from Jerry Martin on May 7, 2026, 9:05 amI have a propane burner with a blower. It doesn't take much air; I'm using a squirrel cage fan from a computer. 12 volt DC. I still have to choke down the air. I use the same burner for melting 10 pounds of Bronze or Aluminum. My pictures are on the other computer, I'll see if I can find them.
