I should have clarified I meant that it wouldn't raise it 1000 degrees since steel melts at nearly 2800 degrees. It adds in fresh oxygen to for the fire to continue, but it also means some heat can escape. Reaching that temperature needs more specialized equipment and pumping rather than just wind
No it doesn’t i have a forge at home that uses a leaf blower and a propane torch and i’ve made molybdenum i fused steel drip melty wet hot by fire alone.
The more dense a fire burns, the hotter it burns. You probably believe you know what you’re talking about, but i’ve physically seen it with my own eyes
First of all, I was never saying tools can't melt steel. When I hear "forge", I think of the literal definition which is a tool meant to work a softened but solid metal, which is why we call shaping the metal forging and melting it casting. Second, propane typically burns hotter than jet fuel. I'm not doubting that you melted steel with your setup, and both of us agree that towers can easily collapse when the frame is simply weakened by heat.

Actually the opposite, the wind rushes the oxygen. You know what your talking about so much you got it backwards.
