I really don't expect much out of the Atlas at all. Just from the looks of it, it is a very poor design. But I am trying to do most the lower cost and one's you can build yourself. Going to rebuild my side arm Z burner and build a Frosty T burner and maybe a mongo burner.

Well the Atlas 1in burner really surprised me with the way it worked. Had no problems getting it to light, started off at 10psi. At 10pis it got to 1845 degrees, up the pressure to 15psi it hit 1948 degrees. Went up to 20 psi hit 2012 degrees. At 25psi think it hit 2203 not sure my heat prode stopped working before I could take several reading, but I'm pretty sure it got to 2203. So for it's cost it is a fairly good burner, still don't like it you can't control the air flow.
Order a new longer prode it will be here next week. Won't be able to test out the DIY frosty T burner tomorrow. Will go ahead and run it to see what it does my color at least.

Thats good to hear. I believe the regulator on mine limits it to 20 PSI

That's the same regulator I ordered online. I hope I don't need higher for the burner I'm making

You shouldn't 20psi should be enough for a reil's type burner. Benettsnipes I think your's is the 3/4in burner. In less you want to forge weld you can do most of your forging at 10psi.
I get adjustable regulars the one's I use will go to 30pis, you can get them that go up to 60psi. I get the red top type off of e bay or amazon. Don't get the one high temp tools sales they work ok but blow seals.

Yeah, I believe that's correct. The port on mine is 1 1/4". As I do most of my work with the belt sander, I'm actually most interested in learning to pattern weld steel and making sanmai billets, which is why I'm concerned about temp.

Not finished yet still have a few more to go. At least 2 more, then the first two that didn't do well I modified them to see if I can get them to work a lot better.

Next to be tested a Frosty T burner I made myself. You can get the plans for this one off link Iforgeiron.comThis a very simple burner to make and it works real, well better Than I expected it too. At 10psi got 1824 degrees, at 15 psi it got 1986 at 20psi it hit 2191 degrees. Didn't go up on the psi any more didn't want to melt the axe head I was working on. The thing beside it is a open access forge I'm building.
