I have some questions about a propane burner I've been building. I have a setup for a propane burner that reads about 30 PSI when closed, and I think a little bit under 10 PSI when it's closed. But when I open it and try to light it, the propane blows out the flame. My guess is that there's too much propane and not enough oxygen. The setup works at 20 PSI or so, but goes out if I point it into an enclosed space like the inside of my furnace. I was thinking about using a hairdryer to add extra oxygen, but what is the best thing to do in this situation?

Sorry anon. Not a lot pf experience with propane but I hear this works well with it. I have my own modified version for a medium sized foundry. I have burned used motor oil, gasoline, and diesle from it so far.
I think you can build a cheaper natural gas or propane burner.
In any case gl op!

Op you gotta get a little clearer here for us to help. Can you draw a diagram of your set up? I think additional air from a plow dryer would help if you added it to the propane stream

Just add a hole behind the flame (don't really know how to describe that, I'd need to see your torch). Flame fill create something like wind, that'll suck more air inside of the torch.

sounds like you need a bell nozzle or some other space where the propane can expand and slow down.
