I'm putting a Goddard style Extendo forge together. Any of you guys use on? In his book he prefers to use the JTH7 torch. The local big box has the BZ8250HT on the shelf. Looking at the specs I can see no obvious performance difference between the two.
Any ideas?

TIA,
Geoff
 
I'm not familiar with the one you mentioned, but when I had mine, I used the JTH7, and it worked pretty well.... Google'ing it, it seems like the one you mentioned costs more. I think I paid $35 for my JTH7.

Either way, the results are somewhat unsatisfactory coming out of that one/two brick forge... which I was told back then, but of course I didn't want to hear it.. but I was a foolish 20 year old then. Now I'm a foolish 23 year old :p
 
Shoeman, do you have a Harbor Freight nearby? If so, you can get a weed clearing torch for about the same money as the other one and it woould work better. I was never able to get the heat out of the JTH7 I needed.
