If it's not windy you don't need any " choke" at all either to light or run the flame brings in what it needs "induction". You save gas as much as anything.Thanks for all that Kent. I have read/seen that coal is a bit more of a skill to master than the gas forge. I've bought a few books on hobby and home blacksmithing so need to get round to reading them. I was thinking of making a 2 burner forge, or at least as you suggest having the facility to add a second burner, in case I end up wanting to do something a little bit bigger.
I do have a brake drum and some angle iron that I got hold of for making a coal forge but as with many projects it's still on the back burner as it were!
I take it the regulator you are using gives fairly nice control of the burner without the need to control/vary the air inlet?
