Lets build a propane forge burner out of simple parts from the local big box store! This burner will be used in an upcoming video to melt a ton of aluminum cans, and to make Magnalium!
Parts list:
20PSI Propane Regulator - Here is the one I bought: amzn.to/2fsPgsn
Here's a cheap numbered drill bit set. I used a #53 but you may need to adjust slightly for your specific setup: amzn.to/2PqoN16
1/4" Ball Valve: amzn.to/2UgOdTI
3/8" FL x 1/4 MIP union (to adapt regulator output to 1/4"): amzn.to/2UfaxNx
1/4" Coupling: amzn.to/2UrxBJa
1 1/4" to 3/4" Reducer: amzn.to/3qk3gIu
1" to 3/4" reducer: amzn.to/3xE3EDP
8" section of 3/4" threaded pipe: amzn.to/3d38Mtz
1/4" x 2" nipple: amzn.to/3iYHE2D
1/4" square head plug: amzn.to/3qguI9L
Two 1/4" hose barbs: amzn.to/3xE3egJ
1/4" ID vinyl tubing (if you want to run your burner further away from your tank): amzn.to/3djxTZl

My Grandpa taught me that the three holes in the drill chuck weren't there for convenience and that they were all three supposed to be used when tightening down on the drill bit. After that Drill bits didn't spin nearly as much. great video as always..
SAFETY ALERT: White teflon tape is for water - YELLOW is for propane!!
Okay Mister Elemental maker please do not suggest using quarter inch vinyl tubing to run your burner away from the tank because quarter inch vinyl tubing is only rated for PSI 50 lb I had one explode in my lap because the propane cylinder is rated at a hundred to a hundred and fifty pounds of pressure so you need to put out another warning cancel the vinyl tubing suggestion it's dangerous
Why is there no air flow adjustment?
Nice video with the exception your internal flare needs to be black pipe and NOT galvanized. Zinc poisoning can kill you. The galvanized coupler on the back doesn't matter it's not directly exposed to the flame. I know you said you'd probably only use it outside but still, many who watch this wouldn't/don't know that. Stay safe everyone, and be informed.
Hey bud! So I’m seeing a barbed fitting on the tank side of the ball valve... I screen shot the parts list to see while I was in the depot, and it says 3/8 FL X 1/4 MIP. Doesn’t say a barbed end like you have in the video. Can you clear this up for me?
Man I built one and can only keep it lit at 9psi. If I go any higher the flames dies. In the forge I can't keep it going. What size bit do you use for the brass plug?
How did you attach the hose from regulator to the clear tubing? Was it with the double barb fitting I assume I don’t remember seeing you show that part installed.
I've watched a bunch of these videos and I found that yours was easiest. Definitely be using your design for a double burner. - the galvanized tip. Im not very fond of getting poisoned
what was your total cost for burner parts and regulator? and how can you tell on the regulator what psi you are actually running at? thx
This is the cleanest flame I've seen on burner videos. Great job.
I really appreciate the content, super informative. I'm new to forging/blacksmithing. I'm going to give this a try. The one thing I wish you would have clarified is the process of the propane end of the burner. I'm kinda lost on the configuration. Thanks again man.
I loved this video - Thanks for the info. I used your plan for making a forge burner but had to use a 30 psi propane regulator to make it work. I live at 8500 ft elevation so I assume thats why. Again thanks!
I appreciate you, you were so straight forward even I can make one, off to the hardware store.
I actually learned something thank you for the information most informative
I made this following your instructions but used a 1/2 cap, 1.5 inch to 1 inch reducer coupling, 1 inch pipe and a 1.5mm hole for the orifice with a 10 pound regulator and it worked very well! Thank you for your contributions to the DIY community! I was just about to give up on making my own burner after my old one with the same regulator failed to produce a blue flame. I think my problem was the amount of airflow in the old system that reused a burner from a furnace with a 1" coupling welded on. I still ordered the new regulator because I want to see how hot I can make it but overall a wild success! Thank you again!
Well, I started my foundry build and of all the burner designs I looked at, yours is the one I went with. Fired it up and it works fantastic. Now I just need to finish building the foundry itself and I'm all good to go. Thanks
I built this in no time .
I guess this is a popular and much used design. I've seen dozens of videos through the years that are all almost identical starting with TKOR back in 2016. Great video with everything explained step by step, just like your other videos. As long as you keep making these cool build videos I'll keep watching and sharing.
