[SEL] reid hot tube burner

[Paul + Colleen Gray]

Barry-
I find that if you are making your own chimney burners, it is difficult 
to get the fuel to  draw in the right amount of air. So I use a piece 
of 1/16 brass tubing in place of the orifice and make it project into 
the tube carrying the air fuel mix. If it burns too rich, ie flame 
coming out of the top, then crimp down the tube a bit until the burner 
gives a slight roar and a bright blue flame. I posted a picture on 
OFES. It is also less likely to flash back and burn in the mixer where 
air is sucked in.  I got my tube from a good hardware shop which stocks 
K+N brass stock assortment. I think it was $1.50 for 3' of tube.  I 
make the mixers from a 3/8-1/4 pipe reducer and hog out the sides on 
the mill. Or you could use a drill. I tap the ID of the 1/4" pipe male 
for 1/8 pipe to accept the orifice.

If there is no red, it will act as though dead!
