From what ive seen. This is one of the best vids out there.. all tge info anyine would need. Great job! Thank you just what i was looking for. Are going to make a smelting furnace for that new burner?
Mr American Piddler i made this burner you show and it works.. i used your material list and it worked awesome ... very happy with it so far .. im about to melt some metal soon .. thanks for your video.. the measure of a man is the lessons he has taught and passed on...
Great build, thanks for your knowledge, I'm starting to build mine today. Some pieces I still have to get. I did want to share a quick bit (literally). Heating up bits is a big setback to us piddlers. Rather than sink cutting oil into the hole, it's better that you coat the bit itself. It allows heat transfer to the metal rather than heating up the bit.
This is exactly why I do what I do! All I can ask is that ya subscribe and share for others to also see the benefit! Sure appreciate you watching and Keep on Piddling!
I like the way you make super clear the size of the various parts, also the safety tips such as not using Galvanized, etc. the design is simple and effective. I’m assuming one could double these up without any issues. Anyway, thanks for the demo.
I've watch a few different videos on how to build a propane forge burner. there a few things i'll change when i build my forge but your design was the best I've seen on UA-cam. Thanks
I love this! I really appreciate the all American made components. I am very green to all this and learning more each day. Thank you for your willingness to teach others. I was always told that if you can't pass on a skill you have, you slowly kill that knowledge.
good job....TO ALL READING THIS...THE CORRECT TAP SIZE FOR MIG TIP IS M6 x 1 ...almost all manufacturers use metric now a days... imperial sizes siezed in the late 80's...,😎 1/4 x 28 will work...but remember,,propane is gonna flow through it.
Super helpful information! Thank you very much for taking the time to share this with the Piddling community! Thanks for watching and Keep on Piddling!
I made this the exact same way that you showed and it works amazingly thank you so much for sharing your know-how I'm about to make a second one for my son because he wants to get into blacksmithing I think this would work pretty well Maybe~ let you know how that works 💕
Very nice right up! I am attempting to build a forge and am going to look up your forge build next. I appreciate the detail and parts list. Takes any guess work out of a build. I'm one of those people that wants to make anything I can myself and your video is a big help
been thinking about building a gas forge for a while. Now that I know its that simple and cheep, I will probably be looking into doing it sooner than expected. Thanks for the awesome video man!
sarcasam 314 Thanks for the kind word's! This has been a great Piddling project & affordable! I am happy that you enjoyed it and learned from the experience! All I can ask is for a Like a Share & a Subscribe! Thanks again for the encouraging words!
Your design is one of the best I've seen, it's simple and does a fantastic job...I want to make a double burner forge hopefully using this same design. I will have to play around with the configuration but should be able to make something happen. I've been using coal and really want something a little cleaner and quicker to get up to temp...thanks again
From what I've seen, you only need to back the tap out a little bit (1/8th turn?). Reversing breaks the chips instead of letting them pile up and jam. Enjoyed the video!
When you were standing with that Tee in the hand talking about aesthetics and I looked at that weld, my wife had to pick me up off the floor I was laughing so much... It works pretty well though. Nice build... and for that, a thumbs up from me because at the end of the day, only the results count.

Hi, just watched your video on making a forge burner ❤️🔥 and what I really liked about your burner is how simple your design is. Others just get to darn complicated when it doesn't have to be. Anyway just thought I'd shoot a comment to let you know. Like your videos so keep it up. Later, R.C.
Love the mig tip idea wish there was a way to put a nut or grind some flats so a socket could change it out .... instead of a pair of needle-nose pliers....but great I liked it gave me some food for thought!!
Well Done! Hard to find anything made in the U.S anymore, I am willing to pay more for it every time when I do find it. Any suggestions for tip/pipe sizes using natural gas ( LNG) ? Going to use forced air on two forges I'm building, so using 2" pipe necked down, w/ a gate valve. to control air flow. Large LPG tanks are too hard to fill out here, exchange only gives you about 3.5 gallons and you're paying for 5 gallons. BTW- you probably know but the beveled fitting is known as a "flare" fitting. Also, for those out there wanting to do this, I would recommend using tape rated for gas, holds up to hydrocarbons. Available at any hardware store in the country.. Thanks Piddler, you rocked it
Thank you for the video. Your approach is clear and understandable and much appreciated. My assumption is you left the two 1 inch openings for air flow? Do you recommend adding some type of movable covering to adjust the air flow? Also is it on your agenda to build a small forge so we can see the proper way of placing the burners?
Forge is built in other videos! I dont have anything covering my air flow... Thanks for watching, hope you subscribed! Keep on Piddling #americanpiddler
Good video I'm going to make one tonight for my propane tank forge I'm making.Instead of drilling a 3/4 hole and grinding the cap any reason you didn't just slide the 1/4 pipe nipple through the 3/4 hole in the T?
So where the small pipe goes into the "t", the one with the welding nozzle, if instead of welding that in place you can make its depth adjustable you can also tune your air mixture and possibly get more btu's out of it. This is essentially a "venturi" valve which uses pressurized air passing through something to create suction. I've used it to make sprayers.

Hello, how are you? I really like your videos. I'm going to make a forge burner, but I saw another video that the mig tip is in the center of the T, and in this one it's lower down. Do you think the two options work the same way? Thank you very much greetings from Bakersfield ca.
Yes they're very similar to each other as I made them both from the same design! Thanks for watching don't forget to subscribe and Keep on Piddling! #americanpiddler
Did you drill a 1 1/4 inch hole in your forge and use the bell to hold the flame or did you use a larger 1 1/4 straight pipe with screws to hold the 8 inch 3/4 nipple for the flame to go into the forge.?
I dont exactly remember but I know that I show it in the forge build videos! Hope ya subscribed! Thanks for watching and Keep on Piddling #americanpiddler
Great job, I've been watching a lot of videos for forging. I am gathering all my materials so I can build my own forge after watching guy's like you sharing with the rest of the world. Keep up the great work..God Bless America!!!
Odessa Woodworking and Maker Shop yes sir! Follow the link below to the exact one I'm using it's great easy to use and up to 40 psi I believe! Thanks for Watching hope you had a HAPPY Thanksgiving
I did get a good one, however it is still doing the same thing. I got busy and did not get back on the project. I will return to it in January since I am going out of town for the holidays. I am going to focus on the orifice and perhaps a flare as the first steps in figuring out why it keeps going out. It seems like the flame gets blown out by the actual gas. Thanks for asking, do you have any ideas?
Odessa Woodworking and Maker Shop It sounds to me like you don't have a flame holder.... meaning on mine it is the bell at the end that holds the flame without that I wouldn't have a flame either! 20 psi should be enough but I run up to 40 psi.... the thing about the higher psi you have to have enough air to feed a richer fuel mixture! Hope this helps!
Nice build. Did it work better with a larger tip? When dealing with propane, NEVER use white teflon tape. Propane gas corrodes it, leading to gas leaks (and in my case a small flame where it did not belong!). Use the yellow tape formulated work with gas.
Todd Breeze that's awesome man! My advice would be when building this burner the stage where you weld in the threaded cap dont set it too far in as this will not allow it to draw air properly!
+Josh Canterbury not quite a frosty burner but close I suppose! I hadn't ever heard or seen of one until well after this was made! The frosty burner is a great design with the ease of adjustment!
Great detailed vid, l want to make one, just need the pipe fittings, already have the ball valve, don't you recommend having a plate so can adjust the air intake?
I'm having issues with mine currently. Unfortunately I had to figure out on my own that is standard low pressure regulator wouldn't do and fortunately wise enough enough to get a high pressure LOL but my question is will the MIG tips make that much more of a difference because I'm still having pressure issues and I can't find out why. I don't know if it's the way the plumbing is ran or if I just missed a step and I'm not catching it. So please let me know if I need to tap my nipple line and insert a MIG tip and if it makes that much of a difference and will help obtain maximum pressure out of the nozzle
robert gagnon send me a message on Facebook or Instagram with pictures of your setup! Are you trying to just push propane through the nipple without a tip? That's not going to work.... if you follow what I do in the video it will work!
Go to a plumbing supply store, they will almost certainly have everything you will need. Most hardware stores won't have what you need. I had to go to three different stores and still didn't find a black pipe 3/4 to 1 1/4 bell. Had to buy galvanized and acid wash the coating off.
@@AmericanPiddler thanks for answering I'm thinking about putting a kit together myself and if you had already done it and had some success I was hoping to get advice.
I have a question. Can I use 3/8” parts instead of the 1/4”. Do you think I’ll loose a lot of pressure by doing so? I already bought the parts so I guess I’ll give it a go. Also I have a .030 mug tip and not the .023 Will this be a issue?
The 3/8 shouldn't be a problem the .030 tip may cause it to run rich if so you'll need to add a couple of air holes to lean it out. Thanks for watching and Keep on Piddling!
Austin yes you will need to get the tip as close to center as possible as this is where the air draw happens and if it is not centered it wont draw the air evenly
Ben Grady I would imagine brazing could be done also even better would be to drill and tap the hole which would allow for a finer tune and adjustment of the mig tip! Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!
i really like enjoyed your video and liked your set up using a T instead of a more expensive reducer coupling. Will a similar set up work with a pipe burner tube that is 3-4 feet long? or longer?
Thank you for taking the time to comment and be a part of the Piddler community! As far as a longer pipe application I would not know as I have never tried... I think you will have trouble at a longer distance to be honest because of the fuel air mixture...
I really don't know... you could always try. Please be careful you are using a gas and a flame... keep me posted on how it works I'm definitely interested
I have a problem with my burners. It doesn't make a bright flame actually it doesn't start up. I have a high pressure regulator but what's the correct pressure and the distance of the tip before de mixer?? Thanks for the tips of the regulator I'm using my acetylen regulator
I'll like to apply your design to a branding iron heater. I need the 3/4 nipple to be more than 8" probably 12' - need to move the end of the burner pipe in and out as another way to regulate heat in the 8' pipe burn chamber. Also, what pressure range would you recommend for the pressure regulator?
And I am back just one more time haha. I've seen all kinds of people saying "forced air forge is the only way to go". From what I can tell this system suctions the air with the fire no? Or do you also use a blower in conjunction with this?
My design is not forced air and yes forced air is efficient but it also has increased dangers and I'm no expert so I haven't attempted to build one yet
Hello, you did really great job. I'am trying to do the same build, but it is really hard to find 1/4 fittings in Czech Republic, especialy the nipples.... What the inner hole diameter of nipple have to be so it won't loose the function? Can you write down some alternatives to it? Can I use some 3/4 nipples and use reduction on the end?
Yes you can use like 3/8 or even half and the reduce it down right at the Tee! Sure appreciate you watching! Good luck please let me know when you get it going!
You can also just buy a nut and weld it to the end of the pipe instead of drilling and tapping the plug. That is what I did and it worked perfectly. I believe it was 1/4 in 24 thread.
You made that look really easy. If I try to do build one of those things will it be that damn easy for me? Can you make a video showing how to make the furnace to put that flame thrower in so we can melt steel? Thanks American Piddler!
From what ive seen. This is one of the best vids out there.. all tge info anyine would need. Great job! Thank you just what i was looking for. Are going to make a smelting furnace for that new burner?

Well Done! Hard to find anything made in the U.S anymore, I am willing to pay more for it every time when I do find it. Any suggestions for tip/pipe sizes using natural gas ( LNG) ? Going to use forced air on two forges I'm building, so using 2" pipe necked down, w/ a gate valve. to control air flow. Large LPG tanks are too hard to fill out here, exchange only gives you about 3.5 gallons and you're paying for 5 gallons.
BTW- you probably know but the beveled fitting is known as a "flare" fitting. Also, for those out there wanting to do this, I would recommend using tape rated for gas, holds up to hydrocarbons. Available at any hardware store in the country..
Thanks Piddler, you rocked it

Great tip on the set, I had never heard that before.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words! Glad it helped that's what we are here for!
curious about the placement of the mig tip. how far into the reduction chamber is best for the tip to sit?
Good video I'm going to make one tonight for my propane tank forge I'm making.Instead of drilling a 3/4 hole and grinding the cap any reason you didn't just slide the 1/4 pipe nipple through the 3/4 hole in the T?
Still have to have the 3/4" come out the other side....
Killer stuff. Only lacking a welder. Going to try to find a way around it. Awesome video. I like your style
I plan on making a video on an improved design that wont require a welder! I sure appreciate you watching and commenting! "Keep on Piddling"
Tap one end of a 3/8 MIP X 3/8 MIP hex nipple fitting to accept the welding tip. Tap the tee for the hex nipple instead of welding anything.
So where the small pipe goes into the "t", the one with the welding nozzle, if instead of welding that in place you can make its depth adjustable you can also tune your air mixture and possibly get more btu's out of it. This is essentially a "venturi" valve which uses pressurized air passing through something to create suction. I've used it to make sprayers.
I'm going to build one that looks close to what I'm looking for as for heat wise thanks

I wonder if a .035 tip will work or if it would let to much gas though.
As long as you have enough air flow this should work! Thanks for watching don't forget to subscribe and Keep on Piddling! #americanpiddler
Nice build Ezra. Do you have a parts list for this.
Yes it is in the description thanks for watching and Keep on Piddling
@@AmericanPiddler ah duh lol , guess should have looked there first
No worries happy to help! Appreciate the support!
Great video easy to follow instructions
I'm having issues with mine currently. Unfortunately I had to figure out on my own that is standard low pressure regulator wouldn't do and fortunately wise enough enough to get a high pressure LOL but my question is will the MIG tips make that much more of a difference because I'm still having pressure issues and I can't find out why. I don't know if it's the way the plumbing is ran or if I just missed a step and I'm not catching it. So please let me know if I need to tap my nipple line and insert a MIG tip and if it makes that much of a difference and will help obtain maximum pressure out of the nozzle
robert gagnon send me a message on Facebook or Instagram with pictures of your setup! Are you trying to just push propane through the nipple without a tip? That's not going to work.... if you follow what I do in the video it will work!
I am having a hard time finding some of these fittings on the hardware stores website, particularly the tee.
Where are you located? I could probably grab you one and send it if you have PayPal to pay for the part plus shipping...
Go to a plumbing supply store, they will almost certainly have everything you will need. Most hardware stores won't have what you need. I had to go to three different stores and still didn't find a black pipe 3/4 to 1 1/4 bell. Had to buy galvanized and acid wash the coating off.
@@AmericanPiddler do you have a website yet to offer a kit for sale to make this thing?
I'm sorry I do not...
@@AmericanPiddler thanks for answering I'm thinking about putting a kit together myself and if you had already done it and had some success I was hoping to get advice.
I have a question. Can I use 3/8” parts instead of the 1/4”. Do you think I’ll loose a lot of pressure by doing so?
I already bought the parts so I guess I’ll give it a go. Also I have a .030 mug tip and not the .023
Will this be a issue?
The 3/8 shouldn't be a problem the .030 tip may cause it to run rich if so you'll need to add a couple of air holes to lean it out. Thanks for watching and Keep on Piddling!
Nice build
shaun schollaert Thanks for watching, don't forget to subscribe!
American Piddler oh i subscribed im gonna build one need all tips i can get thanks
shaun schollaert well if you have any questions feel free to ask and don't forget we are 9n Instagram & Facebook!
Nice job

Wish you would have installed the burner in the forge would have like to seen how well it works but like the video and I am going to build the burner
If you check out our Facebook post from around this time you'll see how well it works! Thanks for watching and Keep on Piddling #americanpiddler
Have you tested if the 1/4” piping route could handle a double burner for a forge? Or is there not enough pressure?
Austin 1/4 would be fine and the regulator in the link will handle the pressure!
American Piddler Last question, if the mig tips aren’t perfectly centered in the middle of the 3/4” nipple will it hinder performance?
Austin yes you will need to get the tip as close to center as possible as this is where the air draw happens and if it is not centered it wont draw the air evenly
Awesome, would silver solder brazzing work instead of welding? And can a three burner be done in the same way?
Thanks
Ben Grady I would imagine brazing could be done also even better would be to drill and tap the hole which would allow for a finer tune and adjustment of the mig tip! Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!
K making the burner is child's play, how do you make/assemble/attach the burner to the forge..thank you
It's in the forge building videos I have they are my very first videos so be kind lol they are a little rough to watch
@@AmericanPiddler thanks my dude, I'll check it out.. I'm sure their great, takes guts to put content out.. kudos 👍
Great instructive video
i really like enjoyed your video and liked your set up using a T instead of a more expensive reducer coupling. Will a similar set up work with a pipe burner tube that is 3-4 feet long? or longer?
Thank you for taking the time to comment and be a part of the Piddler community! As far as a longer pipe application I would not know as I have never tried... I think you will have trouble at a longer distance to be honest because of the fuel air mixture...
what if I bring the orifice through a larger reduction, like 2" to 3/4" coupler, do you think it would allow for a longer distance?
I really don't know... you could always try. Please be careful you are using a gas and a flame... keep me posted on how it works I'm definitely interested
gonna build one. just curious how long a typical propane tanks lasts?
6-8 hrs! Thank for watching and Keep on Piddling #americanpiddler
I have a problem with my burners. It doesn't make a bright flame actually it doesn't start up. I have a high pressure regulator but what's the correct pressure and the distance of the tip before de mixer?? Thanks for the tips of the regulator I'm using my acetylen regulator
sounds like you need a new regulator... Thanks for watching don't forget to subscribe and keep on piddling! #americanpiddler
I'll like to apply your design to a branding iron heater. I need the 3/4 nipple to be more than 8" probably 12' - need to move the end of the burner pipe in and out as another way to regulate heat in the 8' pipe burn chamber. Also, what pressure range would you recommend for the pressure regulator?
We use the regulater provided in the description... it's a 5-40psi regulator... Thanks for watching & keep on piddling #americanpiddler
Will a brass 1/4 cap work for this. It's the only cap I can find. I do have a black iron 1/4 cap but it's not 6 sided like yours.
I dont know I have only used black iron pipe! Thanks for watching and Keep on Piddling #americanpiddler
@@AmericanPiddler oh thanks Ezra. I'll try to do a video if it works . I'm going to try both , the brass and the round black metal. Wish me luck.
And I am back just one more time haha. I've seen all kinds of people saying "forced air forge is the only way to go". From what I can tell this system suctions the air with the fire no? Or do you also use a blower in conjunction with this?
My design is not forced air and yes forced air is efficient but it also has increased dangers and I'm no expert so I haven't attempted to build one yet
Nice job man !!!
Doug Leese Thanks are you planning on Building a burner!
Hello, you did really great job. I'am trying to do the same build, but it is really hard to find 1/4 fittings in Czech Republic, especialy the nipples.... What the inner hole diameter of nipple have to be so it won't loose the function? Can you write down some alternatives to it? Can I use some 3/4 nipples and use reduction on the end?
Yes you can use like 3/8 or even half and the reduce it down right at the Tee! Sure appreciate you watching! Good luck please let me know when you get it going!
@@AmericanPiddler well, I did drawing of those 1/4 fittings and I will make them on a lathe, I will reply when done 🙂
You can also just buy a nut and weld it to the end of the pipe instead of drilling and tapping the plug. That is what I did and it worked perfectly. I believe it was 1/4 in 24 thread.
That thing rocks!
Wildman Tech Thanks! It definitely get my little forge hot hot hot!
Built a triple burner and tried to used the regulator I had. It wasn't enough so I ordered the one you spec'd. Justy posted it on Igram.
+Wildman Tech awesome I'll check it out! When you crank that regulator all the way down it will absolutely put out the heat!
American Piddler
What size of bit was used to drill the hole out for the tap
Abel Maldonado I'm not sure it came in a set there's a link in the description that has both the tap and the drill bit
Thank you, God bless you!
James God bless you sir... btw James is one of my Favorite books!
Great Job. America!
You made that look really easy. If I try to do build one of those things will it be that damn easy for me? Can you make a video showing how to make the furnace to put that flame thrower in so we can melt steel? Thanks American Piddler!
John I have a how to build a forge video! It is definitely easy! Thanks for the kind words and don't forget to subscribe!
nice build job well done take it easy bud liked & shared your video
