Burner for my new forge

[Metalhead0483]

Hey all, I've been away from here for a while. I've been concentrating on other things for a while and haven't been doing much forging recently.

Now I'm starting to get back into things a little bit, and wanted to pick up a gas forge. I found a screaming deal on a Chile Forge Tabasco single burner forge body on ebay and snapped it up. Now I'm trying to decide on which burner to go with it. A part of me suggests going with Chile's Diablo burner, but they are wanting something like $300 shipped for one burner with connector. My other thought was to get a JF#1 from Jim Fox at Thermal Art Design, since his burners seem to be of high quality, and he's only asking something like $180 shipped, with connector, and a 90 degree fuel stem.

Does anyone have any thoughts between the two? Or other options other than those?

I appreciate the help.

I would spend about $100 and build a nice blown burner.

Either build it yourself or you can buy a kit or ready-made burner here. High Temp Tools - Burners and Kits

I never used either but The jf#1 you can get on ebay for $95. I have a burner that out performs a T-Rex burner and is only $120.
