And the 2400 is for the workpiece, assuming my pyrometer isn’t lying to me.

It is not that hot.
If it were - striking it with a hammer would be awfully exciting - as you would only be 100 degrees or so from melting - and in my experience you can't get that kind of heat out of straight propane....
I suspect you’re right - 2400 for the piece seemed awfully high. Anyroad, after two minutes, it’s the right colour and forgeable.
