Great topic. I've had that issue before, my orphis was loose. And as well was the last thing I checked. But is now the first thing I check

Thanks Alex my issue came from my tank the other day I don't know if they over filled it or what but my forge kept sputtering and then my supply hose would also freeze I had to bleed off pressure a couple times then it started working fine

You said your venture was cast iron but I'm not sure it is dude. I think it's aluminium. I could be wrong and have been in the past but the ones I have that I believe are made by the same company are aluminium. Nice video dude. Thank you for your advice.

You performed a hot-swap on a burner in your forge? Uh-huh. I see what you did there :P

Really nice video on troubleshooting the burner :)

Will loose fittings affect heat output I'm struggling like hell to get my forge up to proper temperature?

Good tip, I was wondering why you didn't tighten the jet with a spanner just to snug it up. I had trouble with my big burner when I bought it and Corin got me to take the jet out and drill it out to 1mm. I used the gas goo thread sealant. Also you should use gas approved teflon tape. Looks like the one you used was the gas one. What's your first name, mine is Len.

Copper on copper fittings dont need the tape because it is soft and creates a seal

[jackdawg]

gas rated teflon tape is generally yellow...
