Polo,
I am new to this. But it can achieve welding heat no problem. I will go through my books to get specs on temperature. What you see is a flame based on 4lbs pressure out-put from a 20 lb. (BBQ) tank. From experience within our blacksmith's group some members have welded with this unit and the pressure is increased from 4 to 10-15 lbs but no higher than 15 lbs. Running at 4 lbs, generally you can run 10 to 12 hours straight. I have not tested this yet. No sure about natural gas - you have more expertise than I.
There are lots of sites on the net dealing with this type of forge and burner design:
anvilefire.com, you tube has great video of forge production, holisticforgeworks.com,
Forge and Burner Design Page #1, Building the forge
These are just a few I googled.
See my previous post #6 for PDF.
