Great job! I've always wanted to make this but was not confident enough in hole sizing/spacing for the correct ratio of flame and air-to-gas mixture. Thanks for figuring out the tricky data I needed. I appreciate you
Well done getting it to even operate effectively! Getting the right fuel/air ratio and gas pressure at the manifold can be taxing when engineered for specific equipment. FYI, the low side L.P. regulator is measured in inches of water column and Propane needs 10.5" w.c. to be stable. (There are 28" water column in 1 p.s.i.) I have run some down to 8.5" w.c. without a flash back so look at that gauge again or find one in "w.c.. Notice your low fire setting looked great? High fire is lacking air, open that shutter to see if that works. A yellow flame is poor combustion and poor heat. Getting the right orifice, manifold pressure and air is the fighting balance. If you have trouble, try a venturi on each burner leg, after your 1/4" or 3/8" adjustable valve, tee to both venturi tube ports. Use 2ea. #55 orifices and increase the manifold pressure to 10" w.c. at the regulator. At each burners first drill ports, spanning from left to right burners, place 1/2" metal angle facing 45* down(angle face down), this will allow the gas to 'carryover' from both burners lighting both burners from one point. 7 months late and I'm sure it's working just fine but it interested me enough to give my 2 cents'. 39 years HVAC Contractor.............ha, lol. Nice job!
snurb48, I would like to know if you would help me design one using natural gas. I'm wanting to convert my wood fired Maple syrup evaporator to natural gas.
you have more fuel than air ratio, that's why you have yellow tips, large holes are meant for natural gas, cause it's a lower pressure than propane, you should try to use a smaller orfice til you achieve a blue flame throughout the burn.
What size would you recommend? I wasn’t to make a 6 foot long burner, I was thinking 1”O.D 3/4” I.D. Does the length of the pipe change the size of the holes for the flame?
I built my own burner about 3 yrs ago. The trick to getting both sides of your pipe to light off is to bridge the gap by cutting a slit to the other side. Now when you light the burner, the other side of that pipe will automaticaly catch on at the cross over. If you look at your common household oven, they do the same thing. Mine was built out of electrical conduit on the cheap.
In this video I show you how and here in Brazil we make ovens too.... On my channel I show you how the gas burner with air diffuser was made, at low pressure! ua-cam.com/video/4VMuHQIe8C8/v-deo.html 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Hello sir, thank you for sharing this video and your pipe burners look awesome, I want to add and build something similar to my Santa maria grill, in case if I don't want to use wood to do bbq, can I do similar design but three pipe burners and use those with natural gas?
neat. 1 - whats the safety elements required here - just the regulator at the tank is all ? 2 - do you need to venturi piece - I see fireplace kits (not bbq) that just use a simple pressure valve .......... so what does the venturi provide above a simple pressure valve
Hey Brother, this is an awesome video. I have two questions, how far apart are your holes drilled in the pipe and how long is the pipe running out to your mixer. Thank you in advance.
I tried a lot of things and finally broke down and ordered the venturi from Tejas Smokers. The part is now $139. My issue is drilling out the office on the venturi. I don't understand how big it needs to be. I don't want to screw it up. I'm using mine for a firepit . Any help is appreciated Thanks
So I was parachuting one day and my chute wouldn't open and just at that moment I saw another guys coming up towards me, so I yelled what do you know about parachutes he said nothing but what do you know about propane?
I'd do two versions of what I did on 2 lines. They make 3 way splitters for tanks on Amazon. And maybe a 30 psi adjustable gage since your putting out that much volume
Great job thanks for sharing I have only one question how did you decide how to place your holes spacing and beginning and end that may be more than one question sorry Great job thanks for sharing
Well I did a lot of reading. Not a lot of these homemade pipe burner's pros divulge the exact size and spacing. I do know that if you're going with double rows you want them on a 90 degri angle of eachother but turned 45, so both are facing up. I read that a lot of mechanics have to build their own pipe burners for boilers. And from all the different online reviews and troubleshooting I learned that a 16th is too small. And a 1/8 is too big. So I split the difference with 3/32. Now, when coming to hold spacing I read that 3/8" should work for most efficient Pipe burners. And I did mine 1/2". Because I did not want to take the chance that the air mixer venturi could not support anything closer than 3/8. Even though the company I got the air mixer venturi from ( tejassmokers.com) had exact style pipe burners with holes 3/8 or closer. Now that I see it I probably could have gotten away with 3/8.
I have seen videos of people doing this for outdoor patio burners. It's a different built and ait venturi for that. Do your research on "homemade patio pipe burner" you search enough, and you'll find the better parts

Beautiful work. This is exactly what I needed to know.
Much love and respect from South Africa 🇿🇦
👏👏👏👏👏 strong work.
Grills are insanely expensive these days, and I was thinking of building something myself.
Thanks for the video.

That is badass!
Enjoyed this... nice work,and explanation

Yum. Zinc oxide in your food and lungs. Conduit is galvanized.
@Jeff Clark There's always that one guy. You do realize that it burned off long ago?
@@jeffclark5268 Im with you,,,
awesome market competition 😎
Great video and great build...
Nice work!

Nicely done.

Nice one!
Very nice! What size holes did you drill?

2 - do you need to venturi piece - I see fireplace kits (not bbq) that just use a simple pressure valve .......... so what does the venturi provide above a simple pressure valve
I was wondering the same thing about the Venturi piece
Hey Brother, this is an awesome video. I have two questions, how far apart are your holes drilled in the pipe and how long is the pipe running out to your mixer. Thank you in advance.
How did you drill the holes spaced so perfectly
Nice! Film horizontal
🟥 Nice video. Quick question...is the pipe black pipe or galvanized? Thanks for your time
Just black pipe
Nice...thanks
How many holes and what spacing did you use?
I tried a lot of things and finally broke down and ordered the venturi from Tejas Smokers. The part is now $139.
My issue is drilling out the office on the venturi.
I don't understand how big it needs to be.
I don't want to screw it up.
I'm using mine for a firepit .
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
So I was parachuting one day and my chute wouldn't open and just at that moment I saw another guys coming up towards me, so I yelled what do you know about parachutes he said nothing but what do you know about propane?
Do you think it is possible to make a 6’ long single burner?
I have a 32"x 24" grill. Can you build this the same way but having 4 pipes? And would that work?
I'd do two versions of what I did on 2 lines. They make 3 way splitters for tanks on Amazon. And maybe a 30 psi adjustable gage since your putting out that much volume
Respected sir i have making 4feet duble side 1.25inch pipe 3/32inch drill still the burner isn't perfect work
Great job thanks for sharing I have only one question how did you decide how to place your holes spacing and beginning and end that may be more than one question sorry Great job thanks for sharing

Would it be better to go to 3/8" for the heat? Why are you thinking that? Would that air mix venture support 3-4 burner pipes you think?
bro can please explane to me how to make fire with blue color?
Nice job. Please how do I get my pipe burner working in an enclosure?
What kind of enclosure? Like you can't light it?
distance per hole?
Well it's easier to drill a hole bigger than it is to drill it smaller.
Its running a bit rich .
Can that pipe and fitting be adjusted for natural gas use
I have seen videos of people doing this for outdoor patio burners. It's a different built and ait venturi for that. Do your research on "homemade patio pipe burner" you search enough, and you'll find the better parts
I hope those aren't galvanized pipes
Grey
Do they look galvanized to you ?
Black pipe homie
Take off the shades & you can clearly see it is black pipe!!
Can make one and I pay you for it I live in sc
Pipe drill whole size
3/32 drill is in his notes
Hello brother one cuestion.??
What's that?
Just the burner no grill
