Basics
- A basic torch that burns a gas such as propane, methane, or hydrogen
- Used primarily for metal furnaces and forges, as well as ceramic or glass kilns
- This one uses an air supply, either a large air compressor, or someting as simple as a hair dryer
- Air is added at the rear of the pipe, this is later mixed with fuel near the middle, it is then expelled and burned in a divergent nozzle
Used For
- Furnaces
- Forges
- Kilns (glass or ceramic)
- A really good BBQ (see this for a good idea)

- Inexpensive
- High Temperature
- More consistent/controllable air flow due to forced air
- Can run at a higher temp/use more fuel due to the forced air removing the limitation of air flow
Basic Design
- Same as the Open Source Gas Burner Torch, but it uses forced air at the rear and fuel in the middle instead of the other way around
