Home made gas burner

[maheel]

G'day Big Don,
I just finished building your 747 burner, I didn't have a bit of 2" pipe in the scrap pile , so I used a bit of 2 1/4" exhaust that was under the bench looking for something to do @ 150mm long
The little piece of pipe over the hole I made a bit shorter than the length of your thumb nail :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:
and it seems to me that IMHO the flame is a bit yellower than I sorta expected, and Its not very loud at all ( maybe it's my hearing :( :( )
What sort of output does your gas reg.have, The one I raided outta the bbq say 2 kg/hour on it , Is that enough or is it the wrong reg ? :think: :think: :think:
Any advise welcomed ?

nahh you need a HP reg i think to get the most from big D's design.
more like 4-8 kg per hour
or muck about with gas hole and air hole sizes i think

got a gas hose without a reg...... lol :angry-extinguishflame: :angry-devil:

HP reg mate or just use the straight gas hose,I used to :laughing-rolling: The normal BBQ reg is no good,not Enough punch to it.Try the straight hose and see the difference,then report back :text-lol:

Thx guys
I reckon it was the reg, ie: more fuel :auto-nx: :o :o = more noise = more heat :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:
SBB's bring'n his reg over to fuck about a bit with it some more today

SD - BD says in step 8 - get a High Pressure reg & a needle valve for fine control.

A BBQ reg isn't a High Pressure reg. If you get one like this http://www.auscrown.com/page/shop/flypa ... regulators you won't need the needle valve as the reg is adjustable. I use a similar one in my brewery - they work great & offer excellent control!

If anyone doesn't feel comfortable welding stuff to work with gas the italian spiral burners & medium pressure regs from beerbelly (http://www.beerbelly.com.au/burners.html no affiliation blah blah) put out some serious heat - a mates cracked the concrete under my pergola!

:shock: :shock: HOLY FAAAARRRRKKKK :o :o :o :o

Hey there BD is this what ya talking about ???


Borrowed a hp reg from a neighbour, it works like a fuken beauty :dance: :dance: :dance:
The neighbour wanted to see my new "crab pot burner" in action, all he said was " fuck me , your fucken crazy " that's the desired effect i was looking for :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:
and your right, they do sound like a 747 on take off :o :o :o :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

She wasn't there when it was fired up ( off in the garden )
I showed her the piccy ( that was enough :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: ) said thank god I wasn't there :angry-tappingfoot: :angry-tappingfoot: , you burn this place down and there WILL be trouble !!! :roll: :roll: :roll: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

Told you they were good :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

Wait till you jam it under a keg stubs,I'd say about a 20 minute heat up time :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: you'll be able to strip a 200l fermenter AND do a spirit run on the low wines you collected all in one day :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

DB
I've been thinking about a 1.2 mtr piece of 4"copper I've got shuv'd in the corner of the shed :think: :think:
How'd ya reckon a 1.2 mtr , 4" shotty would go reversing the effect of the burner stuck at the beginning of the process :o :o :o :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

Hi gang,it's Cupcake here :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: just going through my photos and found one of the original BD747,the one I used for cooking prawns and crabs,till I found bigger and better uses for it :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:
This one was made to suit a Tooheys keg :handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Cupcake over and out

Hi people will this regulator work , I've got it screwed on to the pipe I'm using for the burner ps ya can click on it for a better look EDIT the main pipe is in fact an old tie rod arm that had been used for a garden stake :roll: .I cut the rusty end off unscrewed the tie rod end and hey presto same thread as a bbq gas thread :dance: , pipe is 13mm OD 9mm ID hardened steel so doubt the gas pressure will split it :laughing-rolling:

Thank maheel I bought the Reg on special at Bridges Wade for $45 which I thought was pretty good , The hose was $10 and $6 for fittings to change it from male to female fittings . The fella said if it doesn't work just bring it all back so ya can't get fairer than that , all in all nice place to do business PS bought some spar fitting of them a couple of yrs back they were helpful then to , should have gone to them first , save me trapesing allover town all day :-D
