MYTH? Can a gas forge burn steel?

In this video, we discuss "Can you burn steel in a gas forge?" Many people think it is a myth to burn steel in a propane forge, but we delve into the topic here. What's you're experience... can a propane forge burn steel?

Burning steel is from an excess of oxygen (oxidation), not heat. Several factors go into the burning iron rods, including the particular metal's ignition temperature and surface area.

Do you think I ought to do some experiments to do more thorough demonstrations on this topic? Steel wool can be ignited, would you like to see other metals burning?
