Todd, I like that design a lot, and am very tempted to take this
route. A lot cleaner and faster to get started, than coal forge. Do
you know how much propane it uses? How long would a regular propane
last with one burner?

Typical consumption for my forge on one burner: 8-10 hours running on
5-10 psi input for general forging, 2-3 hours running at 20 psi input
for welding. I often use a 20-pound tank. So that's before it empties or
freezes up so badly I have to change tanks.

Both burners operating can increase usage by 50%. (only 50 because of
shorter reheat times or loading several pieces of material and running
at a reducing atmosphere)

Sonuvagun gets really interesting running for welding; it'll throw fire
out the door for 3-4 feet. I have to approach taking pieces out from low
down with bent-handled tongs. Ah, who needs all that hair on his hands
anyway? :)

So, you have to use a regulator on this? Not just the constant pressure
type as is on barbecues? I got regular regulators, so no problem.
