Make a Propane Jet Burner - Super Sized for Wok, Seafood Boil, Turkey fryer, Home Brewing

[@michaellukaniuk5074]

To all you western guys working with gas as a profession, your expertise is correct and duly noted. Now it`s time to take a deep breath and a couple steps back. Andrew[bad welds and all] is showing you how 70% of the planet cooks food commercially without blowing themselves into the afterlife. Go to any night market in SE Asia and watch the fire show fueled by HP propane and $16 dollar burners made in India. I have been in those markets weekly for 10 years now and never seen or heard of anything cataclysmic happening. It's like riding a motorcycle in Jakarta. Chaotic to experience but shockingly few accidents. A near miss is still a miss. Happened to be looking for a manufactured burner to retrofit a wood pizza oven over to gas....one being offered for $4,000 US is a work of art but has the same output as Sir Andrew`s $40 beast. Andrew is not showing what to do. He is simply showing you what is possible. Like that Russin guy in the comments said...." don`t be a pussie."

[@arod1766]

So what burner do you recommend to retrofit a wood pizza oven over to gas?

[@deadringer2349]

I read "don't be a pussie" in russian accent! Hahahaha

[@abbasali3100]

Very nice. I bought similar burner from Iraq just the gas supply was directly to the upside-down conical cast iron cup and small holes in the side and i got similar result.

[@BhaktiSangeetSaini]

I made one for my pizza oven thanks 3 burners in a line

[@medicmike4906]

Nice project. I would use a pipe with no threads, this way you get a solid weld. Also make sure those quick connects your using are rated for this, here is why those quick connects have an o ring (female side) eventually sooner than later that o-ring will go bad, that could be very dangerous.

[@talesdemidioful]

wok stations are awesome, i will build mine as soon as possible

[@flushot6513]

That's bad ass imagine what the other campers would think

[@Bowtie41]

I know people bashed due to galv. pipe,and you mentioned it SHOULD be black pipe.I know in your other burner you removed the zinc with vinegar,so jsut do that and they can piss off.I LIKE the burner design,my only advice would be to drill n tap the orifice holes to accept MIG tips.You could have easy adjustment for flame size,and if your holes are a little off,the copper tips can be "tweaked" to point to center.Also,before you weld all the 1/2" together,if you had say,3/4" pipe pieces slipped over the 1/2" that had a setscrew holes tapped in them,when you weld the 3" pipe to them,you could also tilt those inward and then lock them down,to make them all meet for a "sweet spot" for the wok!

[@swordofgabriel]

Bowtie41 it's not JUST the issue of zinc fumes. When you weld galv. to black iron it WILL crack. Can't get around it. This is just a very dangerous set up from the start that is destined to fail and quite catastrophically. I don't care how good the design is (which this one is really not) you can't cheat physics. It has nothing to do with bashing the dude. It's about saving someone's life who doesn't know any better and comes here thinking they are getting legitimate instruction on how to build a burner. What part about that don't you people get?

[@daleleppert6914]

Ok, so why not build your base out of your pipe, weld it, leak test it and then drill your holes? seems easier then having to make sure your holes dont turn on you.

[@ERIKwTheK]

Dale Leppert that's what I was thinking.

[@manickn6819]

Exactly. Other than that the pipes will not be too tight to ensure the holes point up. Guess he is banking on the welding.

You just need a high pressure regulator.

[@jayreiter268]

Kyle That burner should work with natural gas. I converted a pizza oven to propane for use at a fair. You have to have a larger orifice because gas pressure is less than one pound. There is a chart for standard orifice size on line. The oven was obsolete so I bored the ovens fitting to take a screw in orifice fitting and bored one to the natural gas size and the other to propane size.

[@mountnman3609]

NEVER use galvanized pipe with propane or natural gas. ESPECIALLY after you've welded on it. You also welded malleable iron to steel ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3nOp3dtYtpqr5o ...like you said, you're not a pipe welder. 7018 is a carbon steel rod, not a rod for malleable iron. When welding to iron, the metal has to be heated first, or the sudden application of an electric arc will shock the metal. (a physical shock, not just electrical) That shock leads to cracks. You're dealing with gas that can explode. You better be darn sure what you are doing. You said you are running this at 5psi. Normal house pressure of propane is 6.3 OUNCES per square inch. 5 psi is 80 oz per square in. Your pumping 13 times the pressure through your system. The pressure on the pipe isn't the issue. Galvanized to malleable fittings welded with 7018 WILL EVENTUALLY crack. When that does, gas at 5 psi does some pretty awesome stuff. Forget what Fred down at Lowes tells you. I've been a pipefitter for 29 years. Welding pipe for gas lines is what I do for a living. ... Your best bet...throw out what you built and remove this from KZbin, so nobody else who doesn't absolutely know what they are doing, tries to do the same thing.

[@marcr4566]

not to mention water testing for leaks instead of putting it under pressure.. SMH!

[@Mastertech360]

The "Venturi effect". The tiny sized hole with the proper pressure behind it causes high velocity. This allows ambient air to be "sucked" in through the bottom of the pipe. The pipe length is also important to optimize this.

That's nowhere near 200K BUT/hr. Its 50K at best. Easily calculated if you know the gas flow rate.

[@666Eidolon666]

Well, let's do the easy calculation. He said he had 10 psi (277 inches water column) pressure, with four 1.3 mm (0.0512 inches) orifices (0.002059 cubic inches). Specific gravity of propane is 1.52. Assuming an orifice efficiency of 80%. We put these numbers into the orifice flow formula for gas: 1658.5 (relative constant) x K (orifice efficiency) x A (Area of orifice) x (Square root of) P (pressure in inches wc)/sg (specific gravity of gas) = Q (Cubic feet) 1658.5 x K x A x ^P/sg = Q 1658.5 x 0.8 x 0.002059 x ^277/1.52 = 36.879 36.879 x 4 burners = 147.516 147.516 x 2,500 (calorific value of propane per cubic foot) = 368,791 Btu/h So you're right, he is nowhere near 200,000 Btu/h, he has closer to 370,000 Btu/h Even with an orifice efficiency of 50%, that gives approximately 230,500 Btu/h

Natural gas has a higher heating value than propane. Propane=50.35 megajoules per kilogram. Methane=55.5 megajoules per kilogram.

[@666Eidolon666]

Natural gas does not have a higher heating value than natural gas. Per volume, propane has 2.5 times MORE heating value than natural gas. The calorific value of natural gas is approximately 1,000 Btu/foot cubed, where propane has a calorific value of approximately 2,500 Btu/foot cubed. I'm not sure where you got your information from. hypertextbook.com/facts/2002/JanyTran.shtml - natural gas has an average 38 MJ/meter cubed hypertextbook.com/facts/2002/EricLeung.shtml - propane gas has an average 93 MJ/meter cubed Or you can just use a conversion calculator: www.translatorscafe.com/unit-converter/en/fuel-efficiency-volume/3-9/megajoule%2Fmeter%C2%B3-Btu%20(IT)%2Ffoot%C2%B3/

[@gerrybradfield3330]

Gammareign Nonsense. Propane as a gas burns higher and hotter than natural gas. However, when a barbecue is manufactured for use with natural gas, specific valves are used. These valves allow more natural gas to enter the barbecue's burner systems. There are also two main differences in the way that LPG (Propane) and natural gas (Methane) are burnt. The first difference is in the energy content. LPG has a higher energy content than natural gas, with 93.2MJ/m3 vs 38.7MJ/m3. With this higher calorific value, less LPG is required to produce the same amount of heat The second difference is that LPG requires more oxygen. A higher oxygen to gas ratio is required for proper combustion. LPG requires an oxygen to gas ratio of approximately 25 to 1. Natural gas requires a ratio of around 10 to 1. To achieve this difference, LPG is typically provided in a smaller quantity but at a higher pressure, drawing more oxygen with it into the combustion process. LPG is more dense (has a higher specific gravity) than natural gas. Natural gas (methane) is less dense than air, at a relative density of 0.5537 to 1. LPG (propane) is more dense than air, at a relative density of 1.5219 to 1. So, LPG settles whilst natural gas rises. GB
