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 .

Man, this burner will outlast any grill you install it in. Great work.

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 KZread. You explained everything and showed everything extremely well.

Great work Andrew.. really like your explanation and detailness of everything. Cheers from Sunny Australia

Well done, Sir.... Lots of food for thought! Thanks for sharing!

Great video! Best explanation yet and I am glad you showed your experimentation process!

As a gas fitter. I gotta say. That’s pretty darn crafty. Great job.

Brilliant video. Thanks. We are going to build our on pipe burners for own needs in the camp! Once again thanks.

Very descriptive and clear explanation as to how you built that. Well done :-))

Thanks. Great video! Great music, with its volume set at the perfect level.

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.

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,

I prefer out the side. Bottom burning causes more heat to the tube and shorten life.

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

Great video,ideas and explaining awesome job, thank you for sharing, and keep it lit!!!

Simple, but very effective. Well done.

sweet ass engineering I loved being able to understand and diagnose and fix any gas burner in any crap barbeque.

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.

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.

You could tweak the flame color with an adjustable air inlet.

Great video. Well calibrated propane burner.

Your fine tuning technique is the best

Thank you very much for your explanation and teaching values

Really enjoyed your video.

Excellent instructions! Thank you

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.

Great video, thanks for sharing your ideas and time..

I love it, thank you for sharing your video you just give me good ideas 💡 👍🏻

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.

Brilliant, answered all my questions 👍👍

Great job. Very impressed. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

The tip of the orifice should be mounted closer to the entry of the burner tube. The gas exiting from the nozzle is what creates the ventury effect and must in front of the air entry holes , the ventury effect is increased the closer it is to the burner tube,

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.

They're super easy to make. I've built dozens for different tanks or purposes. I've used homemade injectors and ones taken off old heaters and burners. The real pain in the ass is the steel you're most likely to try first is hardware store tube and this often has insanely hard spots in random places. Those spots will kill the worlds best drill bits and band saws instantly. Aluminum tube is less costly when compared to ruined drills or saw blades. Hardware store welding flat, angle and round stock can be just as bad on occasion. So word of warning to those new to this, try aluminum tubing or black iron pipe. Iron pipe drills like a dream. Most large hardware stores will have black iron 3/4 in lengths of up to 5 feet and threaded on either end. So a reducer fits on as does a cap. You just need to make the mount and injector.

Thanks for taking the time

Muy útil su información, muchas gracias.

Thanks for sharing your idea.

Nice work!!

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

My buddy used drilled out grease fittings. Do not remember all the details but it worked well for boiling crabs in large pot

Great job young man.

Nice job thanks for sharing good information

Muy buen video, buen producto final.

thanks very very much...from Indonesia

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).

just an excellent design. greetings.

Thanks for sharing it’s a great video.

Thanks for the ideas👍

Tired of paying hundreds of dollars on BBQ grills that don't last, rust and fall apart. Most are junk right out of the box. Great ideas on building my own. Thank you!

Really nice project

Excelente, ya salí de duda...!!!

gracias muy necesaria tu docencia aprendí mucho

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.

Nice vid. This is why i revive everything. I don’t trow stuff away😁 my wife hates it 😬but e will survive 👍🏼

This Is Vary Cool To See This Please do More Videos Thank-you

Awesome build. You don't need to heat the steel. It will weld to the other pice with out a problem.

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

Excellent very good work good luck 🌹🇸🇦👍🐪

excellent video, earned a new subscriber

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

A tuned blue flame is most efficient and produces the maximum amount of heat for the gas burned and with a blue flame you don't get sooting or staining on utensils pans and kettles along with a more efficient burn. I've recently tuned the flame on an old Calor Gas twin burner oven cooker with the aeration screws to blue running on Calor Gas 7kg Butane cylinders and it works fine. You do get very slight yellow tips at the top of the flame on the oven burner running on butane but is not serious enough to cause issues. The oven flame on Calor Gas propane cylinders is largely blue.

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.

holy crap the first person to mention CUTTING OIL not wd40 /engine oil ect / to drill tap 5 thumbs up great video

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.

perfecto muy didactico

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.

Thank you sir Great work

Excellent 👍🏻

hello,what type of welding is he using ?

Great job thanks

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

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

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

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'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.

Good job dude

Nice job!

Perfect, awesome

Great job

Nice job.👍👍

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.

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

That looks good. Could I use copper tube for a round paella burner for 25 inch paella pan.

Great video thanks.

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.

Very good Thank you

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! 👍

@@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. 👍

Very good

Great video Likely you could get the flame to clean up by gettig orifice closer to the 1" tube. It will pickup velocity and draw more air to mix. Like to see if that helps.

for a smoker I would want the 1.0mm orifice. I like the work.

You could use welsh/freeze plugs for the ends pressed in & brazed

look into stainless steel weld fittings, schedule 10. they are nice and smooth inside with no threads, and would look good and wont rust!
