  • what you call gauze is actually extruded steel grill

  • The small sections increasing to the large diameter right angle section may also be to approximate a 12:1 flare in the burner. I believe that ratio promotes a stable flame by suppressing burn back due to the increase in pressure caused by the reducing diameter of the tube....then again maybe not.

  • Thank, Simon. Perhaps he kept adjusting the length till it was just right. Anyway, great stuff. As for council inspectors...what they don't know won't hurt them.

  • I think it's REALLY cool that you climbed underneath your kiln and dismantled it for us, just so we can know a little more. You are the man Simon!

    Really, is there anyone else out there that has contributed as much as he has? I think it's pretty sporty! I know we all appreciate it a lot Simon. Thanks!

  • Ya, well. I tried to follow the rules. I have mixed feelings about it. Basically, I think the rules should be written by somebody who is not ignorant, but that is not the case. They look at a 20 cubic foot gas kiln in the same way they see an industrial tunnel kiln for an iron factory - not something they like going up in quiet city neighborhoods.

  • Inspectors? Permits?

    Thanks for the video Simon, Just what I was looking for.

  • It's basically an over sized "Bunsen Burner".

  • Hi Simon,

    Thanks for the burner video - it all helps.

    It's still quite diff. to get the pipework scale, but is the reason for all the little sections and joints maybe to step the pipework from 1/2" up to fit the larger step at the right-angle burner? Maybe the person who made it wasn't able to step up to the larger burner in one go?

    Good one though.

  • That burner would have never passed inspection by the town inspector overseeing my kiln. So no 2ndary air control? You just reduce by closing the flue then?
