I decided to give my home made gas forge a new coat of ITC100. The forge has two 3/4" modified sidearm burners using about 2psig of propane. I rarely use the second one. The open interior is 6"x18" with 2" of kaowool insulation.
The first burner lit normally, but when the second burner valve was opened the "dragon's breath" turned red/orange. I shut the main gas valve immediately.
I disassembled the second burner and found the charred remains of a small mouse. I have no idea how long it was in there, but it has been at least 6 months since the second burner was used.
The forge now sports two flip down covers of 1/2" mesh wire cloth.
