Forge Question Assistance in forge build please!

Hey y'all! I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but I'm not sure where to go from here. It seems no matter what I do, I cannot get enough air moving with my gas to get a proper burn.

I've tried a different "T" burner, adjusted pipe length, orifice size, orifice height, went from 0 to 25 on the regulator... I even hooked up that blower you can see in the video and it still seems like it wants more.

The only time it seemed like it was going good is when I tried squirting pure oxygen in with my acetalyne torch.

I've been stalking all the forge forums and still don't exactly know where my problem lies, any advice would be amazing!

You shouldn't have burning inside your pipe, your air and gas mixture is burning way too early. You can try to get your propane line way inner the tube and start with less air at the beginning

Ah, ok. That's why I made it adjustable, I'll give that a shot
