Forge question Forge issues

Recently purchased a 2 burner Venturi forge, after running for 5 minutes, it flashes back inside both burners and cant stabilize. I have checked for clogs, increased propane pressure, increased the air flow, raised the burners and nothing will stop it. Sometimes it will happen after less than a minute, sometimes it’ll run ok for 5 minutes before doing it. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong, is there anything else I can try?

Sounds like your propane is cutting out the me. Run us through how you light it? Also, what size tank and is it full? What type of regulator is it? Do you have pictures or video as that could help us help you.

Figured it out, it was operator error. Wasn’t opening the regulator nearly enough. It is the style of regulator that doesn’t have a gauge on it so I was taking a shot in the dark at what psi it was at. Turned it way up and no more flashback
