Hi.  This is my first posting to the group.  I've recently joined
ABANA and am using my sister's email account.

I've just built a 10"x20" pipe forge (approx. 150 cfm of air & 5-20
psi of propane) based on Hans Peot's plans.  I am considering the option 
of doors.  I have a 2" inlet.  I know I need some outlet -- how much?  
What would it take to blow up this forge?

Thanks in advance,

In my pipe forge I welded a piece of angle iron across each end, flat
side up, at the level of the interior floor. This acts as a support
for short pieces, and also is a place to stack firebricks. The
firebricks are my reconfigurable door.

Even with both ends of the forge fully blocked (with firebrick), the
flames find plenty of room to leave the forge.
