This is just for my own curiosity... and not during the heating up, I'm talking when running after the initial "warm it up" phase...
I'm running a home built forge with a T-Rex and once I'm up to forging heat inside I have it running at below 5 psi (not sure cause my gauge starts at 5), loks like 3-4 to me. When I don't have a work piece directly in the forge, I bypass it through a needle valve and it barely even registers on the gauge. We're talking almost off.
I was just curious what others are experiencing as this is my first (for real) forge and I wasn't 100% sure what to expect.
If you have a minute, post your "stats" here for all curious enough to look.
Oh... almost forgot! By my (crude) calculations I'm around 405-415 cubic inches blocked by fire brick in the front so I can adjust the size of the hole I need for the individual work piece. Said psi is with about a 4" x 5" hole in the bricks.
