![]() Next step stick it in the forge ( made from 20lb LPG bottle ).Not quite perfect. That's with it sitting in the bench vice. Hey presto flame jump down to the end of the burner tube, the loud, high pitched noise changed to a deep roar, and I had a flame about 2 foot long and a well defined inner cone. That put the initial fuel delivery further down the burner tube tube and then I added a flair, cut from a soup can. next I added a 1.2 mm mig tip(slightly bigger than a #56 drill hole). First i Had to start using a choke, and make adjustments on the run. Thanks Bob, I'll tell you where I'm up to now. If you need more help or just want to talk about it, go to my web page Whatever you want. Don't have any rings welded into the end as flame keepers either, just a straight pipe. I recommend you start with a #60 and see how it works, then start drilling it out until it seems right.Īs for flairs, don't have one. It may be different for you depending on your altitude and other environmental issues (I am near Dallas, TX). Welding requires a LOT of heat and the #52 gets the job done for me. Then I drilled the #52 in the cap from the inside so I could get it centered. The tube is 1-1/4" X 12" I assembled it so that the center tap of the tee is as close as possible to dead center. I have discussed this burner with Rupert Wenig and even have this burner design on my web site (with his name and permission of course). I started with #60 and kept changing until I liked the way it worked. I'll keep you posted, obviously I still need help. ![]() To all you guys out there who have taken the time to respond to this posting Many Thanks. 1 1/4" tube with fuel pipe entering at the rear, and air holes drilled into the burner tube ? maybe, who knows ? I'm tempted to do another burner using Rupert Wenig's design of the "MiniMongo" ie. 1 1/4" burner tube X 12" long.) Next comes a flare if it wont run in the forge.It has been suggested to me maybe to try making a 3/4" burner first up. ( My burner at this stage of building is 2" bellmouth. Did you come to this drilling hole by experiment with smaller holes to start with. Also a #52 fuel hole is quite large compared to other web designs that I've seen, that would make it about 1.5mm. What is the size of your burner tube/ bellmouth reducer/ and is it important as to EXACTLY where the jet tip/ fuel hole lies within the bellmouth. Have an englishweight anvil?
