Mine costs a fortune in propane

John my other two furnaces are pretty reasonable on propane, but the one in the video thinks the world is made out of the stuff and that its free, which is the reason I put it on oil, I still bleed in some propane while running the burner but only a couple of pounds on the gauge nothing like what it takes to melt cast iron.

Thanks Rob, I had planned on using a different fan then the bounce house blower, but got a pretty good deal on this one off of EBay so I decided to go with it. In the video the damper on the blower Outlet is only open about half way, I'm looking into using a pressurized fuel tank so that I can push more oil thru the nozzle which is rated at 1 gallon per hour and is the largest nozzle available in a siphon nozzle. The rate that I had it burning in the video would of put me at about close to 1.5 gallons per hour. 3 inches in the tank is suppose to equal 1 gallon if I did the math correctly.
Had planned to try to melt cast iron today but its rained most of the day here.
