Gene, I am not sure how long it would take to do a taper that long. I have tapered some pipe but never any pieces that long.
I guess it would depend on the tool you built and the control your hammer has also. Pipe is pretty thin and loses heat pretty fast. Getting it too hot is not good either. You need some resistance to make it work right and close up.
