Took me 3 days to figure out why my forge wasn't getting hot enough

I rebuilt my forge last month and it just wouldn't hit welding temp no matter what. Turns out my burner tube was 2 inches too long, choked the airflow completely. Anybody else make a dumb design mistake that took forever to catch?

Man I hate when that happens. Actually though, longer burner tubes can help with mixing if theyre tuned right but you gotta match it to the psi and nozzle size. Sounds like you just had too much restriction for your setup.

Nah @the_kevin, longer tubes actually hurt mixing if the pressure drops too fast.
