Great video !!! You saved me a lot of aggravation and a great deal of free education on the learning curve. I can tell you one thing for sure the BBQ regulator released about 10 pounds of pressure of propane. That is not enough for a kiln. You need minimum of a 50. Mine is 100.
Agreed. If you look at my foundry videos you will see the furnace I use and it's attached to a big propane tank with a high pressure regulator to get more propane.
Muy buen video gracias por compartir este experimento me fue de gran ayuda para mí construcción de mí borner para mí fragua me suscribo al canal saludo desde Bariloche Argentina 🇦🇷 gracias
Thank you for filming this! This one vid has been more helpful to me than ten of the ones with nearly identical $40+ pipe fitting style burners! Unfortunately I've already got around 20 bucks worth of pipe junk lying around and I'm still just using my 1lb propane torch to melt aluminum! I do know that these homemade burners function somewhat differently when placed inside the foundry or forge however, so I've still got a little experimenting of my own! Thanks for the inspiration and data though!
Nice show! Ive been playing with that for a while. Forced air is easy because you mix and force it out the end but natural aspiration is another story. I did the same but added another color so I could slide it over the air intake to restrict air. I havent tried the screen yet but it appears that it does about the same as the flare on the end and slows down the airflow letting it burn rather than blowing out. I also tried adding stainless pot scrubber material inside to prevent flame from traveling up the pipe but was not really necessary with good mix and velocity. Thanks for sharing your experience. I enjoyed that!
well i had some problems with my own gas forge that i am building right now and i didn't undestood some problems like why i have enough pressure but the flame goes of , and with your experiments i got to undestand that and even more so thanks a lot
Thanks for showing us what a waste of time it would be adding a baffle screen at the end of the tube! Otherwise good demo on making it from scratch with the MIG tip and conduit. Also would like to add instead of milling out a piece of aluminum for the MIG tip to fit into the conduit try using a small piece of rubber hose! And one more thing, no need to add the brass fitting to the copper tube to hold the MIG tip just gently tap around the end of the copper pipe to reduce it enough to TAP thread it directly to the MIG tip. Easier,faster and cheaper! Your welcome!
a flare tip on the end of your burner would change your life man. I promise its worth it. some get pipe fittings and screw together but thats expensive. I got brass ( which is one of the metals that is one of the lowest conductors of heat.) and I took the brass and heated it up on the end and hammered out a nicely tapered and space saving flare. the don't touch my crucible anymore because they are more compact, not to mention more efficient
Venturi means , If you go from a biger diameter to a smaller diameter, you get higer velocity,, everything is ok, but you are going backworse,, from smaller to a bigger diameter,,,
I will guess you want to know in Metric Joe Grech. It would be .6 mm and will if you choose that size most likely have a 1mm pitch 6mm diameter thread as the ones I use do. Hope that is of some help. Cheers all from John, Australia. PS: Soat Mon, I enjoyed and learned from your video and experimentation. I have just spent the day making parts for an experimental burner for a hand held torch. Tomorrow I will get to play and see if I can make it work well or scratch my head again. Thanks for your time sharing. I am also curious as to what regulator you are using, adjustable, fixed or perhaps just at bottle pressure.
Nice to see the experiment instead of the final result, now everyone can get to his own conclusion, thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you for your video. Gave me some ideas how to change the burners I’ve made and am not satisfied with.
Thanks I am making a pizza oven and this helps me to try out some tips on the burner.
Glad I could help
Thanks I am also experimenting with my pizza oven burner
Excellent e video , soyer tré prudent, led fruits due gaz

Nice to see how this all works. Saves me the time trying it out.
Thanks!
Thank you. Very informative. Gave me more insight as to when to use a cone or gas screen and much more
Glad it was helpful!
Best burner vid I've seen. Get to actually see why and what the feature's functions are. Thanks
Your welcome, thanks for watching!
Steve just Steve well said! You may find my videos enjoyable! Soat did an excellent job! Here's a link to mine ua-cam.com/video/t9OlRHBh_Tw/v-deo.html

Excellent experiment, it was good to see how the different features effect the burn. Thank you for videoing it.
Your welcome!

Soat Man, I really like that table you've got there. I have a lot of oak boards pulled of some pallets I can turn into a table like yours! Thanks
It's nice to have a table that is sturdy enough to stand up to the work and rough enough you don't mind beating it up. Good luck with your build!
now I understand what some of my problems have been. Thanks
You're welcome!
Great video!
Thanks!
Nice video, what would be the name of the "strainer" in the tube?

Thanks for the idea!
Do all the same trials with a flared bell end screwed on- see the difference! Great work!
Thanks!
what regulator r u using , ? pressure wise ? bbq ? or 20psi?
That's what I was wondering, that or is it the welding tips so small it give it the right amount of pressure. Idk
interesante mis saludos desde venezuela
Thanks!
A rosebud has a copper spiral running down the tube which mixes the air and gas down to the tip for a 60% gas to 40% air mixture. Try that?
Try a slide over you air holes so much you can adjust the amount of air
Good idea Andrew!
try a hairdryer for air
Venturi means , If you go from a biger diameter to a smaller diameter, you get higer velocity,, everything is ok, but you are going backworse,, from smaller to a bigger diameter,,,
He should have tried one 1/4" hole in the Middle with a ring of 1/8" or smaller holes on the outside.
That's a good idea. I'll have to give that a try.
0.023 inch What is that???
Joe Grech He's using MIG welding tips for the propane orifice.
Mig welding tips come in different sizes and are convenient to use as gas orifices. I was using a 0.023 tip. Thanks for watching!
Size of the mig tip in 1000ths
I will guess you want to know in Metric Joe Grech. It would be .6 mm and will if you choose that size most likely have a 1mm pitch 6mm diameter thread as the ones I use do. Hope that is of some help.
