Man, this burner will outlast any grill you install it in. Great work.
If you find an old gas stove you can rob one or all of the top burner orifices off it. They would work very well because they are adjustable for any gas whether natural or propane and any pressure. That way you can adjust them to the exact flame you need instead of changing out with different drilled orifices. Also get an adjustable air inlet instead of drilling holes in the bell reducer. You’ll get a better air & gas mixture. The gas pressure should be adjusted to 7 ounces of pressure for propane. FYI I’m an ole appliance technician. Hope this info helps .
Great video! Best explanation yet and I am glad you showed your experimentation process!
Great video! Also very good idea on using the gas ball valve. I want to make a burner for my cast iron smoker and turn it into a grill. I wasn't sure how to make the valves. So I'm going to use these. Thanks, keep up the great work. Your video is by far the best educational video on UA-cam. You explained everything and showed everything extremely well.
Great work Andrew.. really like your explanation and detailness of everything. Cheers from Sunny Australia
Dam iam not going to say anything about the music i didnt even listen to it till i started reading all this comments women leave NICE VIDEO THANKS YOU SAVED ME SOME MONEY
1mm with fewer slits would work as well. Glad I found this video, Ive been wondering how to do this for years but never even attempted it. Now I will. I wish you had made a material list and a few specs. But we can make a list by watching it again.
So now make a four burner set :o)
I was just thinking that you could weld the slits right down the center to force the flames to the sides since it was too hard to drill them. Plus what Mike Idol said before me.
Thanks. Great video! Great music, with its volume set at the perfect level.
Very descriptive and clear explanation as to how you built that. Well done :-))
You could tweak the flame color with an adjustable air inlet.
sweet ass engineering I loved being able to understand and diagnose and fix any gas burner in any crap barbeque.
Simple, but very effective. Well done.
When I build my pig cookers I turn the pipe with the slots down that puts the flame output out the bottom and it cascades up around the pipe making it light easier and the flame will travel the length of the pipe fast to light all of the cut slots. It also stops the slots from getting clogged up from the grease drippings. You have a great design,
Mike Idol o
Great tip!

With a Griddle Top you're not gonna have any grease drippings....
I prefer out the side. Bottom burning causes more heat to the tube and shorten life.
Brilliant video. Thanks. We are going to build our on pipe burners for own needs in the camp! Once again thanks.
Great video,ideas and explaining awesome job, thank you for sharing, and keep it lit!!!
Thank you very much for your explanation and teaching values
Well done, Sir.... Lots of food for thought! Thanks for sharing!
Great video, thanks for sharing your ideas and time..
Your fine tuning technique is the best
Well done my friend!! Nice work!!
Thanks so much for the video and others. Thanks too, for the replies below and remedies for small issues. Utube makes me so much smarter than I ever will or would be.
I love it, thank you for sharing your video you just give me good ideas 💡
👍🏻
great video. Was having trouble finding how people were controlling their flame. I didn't even think of using a ball valve. Now I just need to work on the fittings so I can use a tubing bender to get the bends I need.
Excellent instructions! Thank you
holy crap the first person to mention CUTTING OIL not wd40 /engine oil ect / to drill tap 5 thumbs up great video
Irony of irony, my mini shipment of tap magic arrived today
Great video. Well calibrated propane burner.
I really like your video. I am wanting to build a commercial kitchen and I am a welder. I want to make a very high quality griddle with a thick steel plate as my primary cook top. But I also want to make several heavy duty burner stands for big pots. I have always been entrigued by burners and always wondered how these things were regulated. Thanks for making this video it helps a lot.
Good video man. The critics had some valid points about the music being to loud, but hey, live and learn, just decrease the volume for the background music next time, no biggie.
I was thinking that the air intake is limited by how much air you can get at the output side through the slots. I'm thinking that More slots would give you more output. You really did a great job of explaining how to tweak the flame with the jets, and air flow.
Marcel LeMay the flange is taking in air as the gas pushes in via Venturi effect
Brilliant, answered all my questions 👍👍
Like the proverbial frog in a pot of water being slowly brought to a boil, we have been conditioned to expect that we should be throwing things away after a shorter and shorter lifespan. When cellphones first came out, we expected to use them for 5 or even 10 years. Now we're made to feel cheap if we keep them more than a year. That's all the batteries last now anyway, and they are no longer replaceable in most cases.
Muy útil su información, muchas gracias.
nice job I like it thank you for the tutorial he will help me a lot for my project I have a question how long I can do the pipe?
I need to make it like a 10 ft
Great job young man.
Excelente, ya salí de duda...!!!
gracias por compartir este video Andrew...
Thanks for sharing it’s a great video.
just an excellent design. greetings.
Nice vid. This is why i revive everything. I don’t trow stuff away😁 my wife hates it 😬but e will survive 👍🏼
Another option to drilling the tiny orifice hole and to avoid breaking those tiny drill bits is to use Mig welding tips which come in various sizes to suit the range of Mig wires, then all you need do is to drill and tap a hole sized to suit the mig tip thread.
Really like this video , picked up a lot of metal working skills . Wondering where you got your stainless steel tubing ?
Muy buen video, buen producto final.
thanks very very much...from Indonesia
i made pne of these for my pizza oven build, omg, very nice, works perfectly, i used a 1.2 as we;;, only difference is i measured 8 inches before i cut the slots. thanks
excellent video, earned a new subscriber
My buddy used drilled out grease fittings. Do not remember all the details but it worked well for boiling crabs in large pot
Awesome build. You don't need to heat the steel. It will weld to the other pice with out a problem.
Great job. Very impressed. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Nice job thanks for sharing good information
Nice build. Very good video with excellent commentary explains sizes & detail perfect.
Smaller orifice so limited the flame. Wonder if flame mixture can be improved with the larger orifice by having a larger diameter ss tube or making the outlet holes larger. I think your limitation is because the smaller holes are creating back pressure that is preventing enough incoming air. Larger burn holes will relieve the pressure and allow the air to continue with the higher volume of gas.
i think moving the position of the end cap with the 1/16 in hole forward or back may help focus the airflow to achieve your desired airflow. maybe test with an open end 4in tube no slots to get the best torch and then use the big tube and add slots as u test so u know how many slots to put in.
Thanks for the ideas👍
I wasn't sure making your own burners was safe to do. This is great. I want to use my powerarc to make some stoves this winter. A couple will be pellet but I want to make a propane grill as well.
Thanks for taking the time
Thanks for sharing your idea.
iam so thankfull for your video explaining sharing love idea how to choose best mm whole . i want to make pizza oven and now with your video help me a lot
Really nice project
Hello!!your construction is awesome!! I just made 2 same burners but while the first burner works perfect, the other one does not have a good blazing fire .. no idea what it may be? It has blue fire but its abnormal and makes a horrible sound!!
Thank you!!
I am considering making my own pizza oven. I think a custom burner is going to be a major player in how it turns out.
This Is Vary Cool To See This Please do More Videos Thank-you
How clean the video looks HD nice job.
The problem we all have, is how to clean the grease in the tubes. it will saturate, the problem there will continue in the cuts where the gas comes out 👍
Excellent and simple
I'd hope to see you make a video of you making an portable oven or even for a commercial oven, perfect for baking business. God bless you.
Very cool! Just a thought on the air intake holes that got drilled into the reducing coupling, I suspect the reason they didn't seem to make a difference was they were on the burner side of the orifice so there was no Venturi effect to pull air in. If the orifice was inserted deeper into the coupling, past them, perhaps they would have been effective? But, it ends up being a
Moot point since you got such a good flame in the end anyway. Great work!
I thought that too, drilling the venturi there didn't seem a good idea
Really enjoyed your video.
wow all brand new tools
hola amigo un saludo muy especial muchas gracias por esa enseñanza
Yes I would like to try the black iron
I really liked your video. How big of a diameter pipe do you think I would need for a five foot long burner? Thanks for the help.
You'll likely get much better flow control with a needle valve placed inline. I like the ball valve, but they are really only for quick on-off control; it's very difficult to control flow with a ball valve.
Great tip on the needle valve. I agree ball valves are better for on/off than adjustment.
Get rid of the yellow by adding airflow.
That looks good. Could I use copper tube for a round paella burner for 25 inch paella pan.
Nice job!
Perfect, awesome
To get more power there are two ways. One method is to increase the velocity of the gas coming out of the orifice (by increasing the pressure) which will decrease the pressure just after the orifice in order to suck in more air (oxygen). This would require replacing the regulator with either a fixed or variable regulator set to a higher pressure or removing the regulator altogether. Otherwise make a second orifice in parallel with the first (ie. put a "T" after the ball valve and put an orifice on either end of the "T") then feed the two flows together in a "Y" configuration back into the burner to double the amount of air (oxygen) that can be mixed with the propane. As you increase the orifice size the amount of propane increases in ratio to the orifice area (discounting any losses), whilst the oxygen remains fairly constant (same suction if propane is coming out at the same velocity).
Great work. Assuming a gas differential pressure of 11.25 in wc, the flow rate through the orifice (1.2 mm) is 0.755 lb/h or 15390 btu/h or 4.5 kW. In order to have stoichiometric combustion you need 15.73 lb of air per lb of gas. For the configuration given the ratio of entrained mass of air per mass of gas is 16.74 (7% excess air). That's why your final flame is beautifully blue. Smaller diameters will yield lean combustion and larger diameters will result in rich combustion as your results show.
hola Luis saludos. En conclusión que diámetros de los presentados seria el mejor?
Nice job.👍👍
Great video thanks.
This's actually very similar to making a forge burner except where u drilled your hole in the end cap you would normally try to use a mig welder contact tip w/an .045" hole as it seems to work alot more like a real jet then the hole drilled in a very thin cap. This may actually improve the grill burner too as it makes a huge difference in the forge burner. It makes enough of a difference that I can actually meet steel with my little forge, which many can't. The style burner also work unbelievable for making your own small propane torch burner as it will get MUCH hotter then any one that you can buy anywhere. If anyone's interested in that just look up making a forge burner here and just step down the size of everything a lil. To anyone making the grill burner: he uses a small plate to attach where the brass goes into the reducer, the less u can cover the large hole in the opening of that steel reducer the better airflow you'll have for this as he keeps having air issues during making this. Alota peeps when making the forge burner drill a hole in the side of the reducer & run the brass/copper tube through that hole and either bend the tube so it points down the tube, or u can just run a capped tube through the side and drill your hole so it points down the stainless tube. If u don't understand look up some of the forge burner vids to see. The point of doing this is because u want as little air restriction as possible at that big opening and that plate reduces more then it should. That's why the drilled holes were needed in this video. These are called Venturi burners whether for a forge, propane torch, or gas grill burner. So even if your not interested in anything I wrote above if u run into any issues during your build these r really good things to reference & u will find alot of great solutions as metal workers have had many, many years to dial there's in perfectly. Good luck people! 👍
I know this is an old comment but would it be logical to make a notch in the large reducer, and then use a 90 degree fitting with a cap on one side?
@@alexshute9259 So if your only speaking of the fuel source delivery them it doesn't matter, whatever works best for your application. But if you're talking about as another air intake then it shouldn't be necessary, as even with forge burners there's enough oxygen intake with that big flair. If you're purely speaking about the fuel source then it shouldn't matter that much. What that will basically come to is the size of the tubing/fitting used. Given that this fa grill or something similar that still shouldn't that critical. If you're talking about something like a forge them alot more comes into play. For grill or anything similar it shouldn't make any difference for you. It may take a few hours for me to rebut please feel free to hit up again if I didn't answer your question, or if you have more. Realistically a venturi tube is what I feel all burners should be using, as they draw as much oxygen as they require really. 👍
for a smoker I would want the 1.0mm orifice. I like the work.
Great job
awesome video. question. what is the tool you used to mark the points on the steel before drilling instead of using a sharpie.
gracias muy necesaria tu docencia aprendí mucho
look into stainless steel weld fittings, schedule 10. they are nice and smooth inside with no threads, and would look good and wont rust!
Hi, I just landed on your video. Nice explanation of diferent aspects. I could't resist to ask, what happened ro 1,1 drill bit. Did you try that hole on endCaps?
Nice work!!
You need to put the flange fitting farther back, and get a longer gas input tube. The Venturi effect will allow the flame to be adjusted more precisely
No need to preheat or use special rod or wire with the pipe fittings. They weld really well with normal mig or stick. Good job
You could use welsh/freeze plugs for the ends pressed in & brazed
Good job on the video! I like the DeWalt part and oh yeah, the blood. I lose a few drops on every project. lol I see a lot of comments on your choice of background music. If you'd like something that fits the length of the video and doesn't need to be looped, hit me up!
Thank you have you used this in a kiln ?
Good job dude
Sangat membantu... Terimakasih saya sudah menemukan apa yg saya inginkan dan akan saya terapkan.... Thank you very much brother..
Thank you sir Great work
Excellent 👍🏻
Awesome video! Any chance you could make one for a back yard propane fire pit?
perfecto muy didactico
Great job thanks
Great work l love it.. good video thanks for posting...
hello,what type of welding is he using ?
You could use the small jets for a keep warm area
Great Video, Curious to know if you could use the head of a weed burner to attach to the tube?
