Burner question
|
|
I am ramping up to build a Heat Exchange Recirculating Mash system, and I want to set up a burner like this one for the boil.
This burner is for Natural Gas only, I assume this is because the natural gas is at a lower pressure than propane in a tank.
Can I get an adapter to convert my tank propane to low pressure so it can run through this burner, anyone have advice and/or links to places to buy what I will need?
Thanks
B^2

They have low pressure regulators for propane tanks, but I'm not sure that it would enable you to use that burner. I don't know what the difference is. I'm sure someone on here will have all the technical details, but if not, a regulator should only be about $15 for a test...from a distance...have a friend do it...with an extinguisher ready...

Thanks,
This is more on the lines of what I need something to get a High pressure tank set up for a low pressure application. |

One of those banjo burners might be a good way to go, as well. www.homebrewheaven.com has one for $79.95 that includes a stand and regulator and puts out 200,000 BTUs.
I'd post a link, but for some reason, Homebrew Heaven's site doesn't work well with direct links. Search for "burner" and it'll come right up!

Ditto on the Home Cheapo site. Free shipping and this thing kicks.

Not loud at all, and you don't need to run it full-bore except when just getting the boil going. It's not a jet burner.

The difference between a NG burner and a LP burner is the size of the oriface. Propane is higher pressure then NG even with a low pressure regulator.
You can use the burner you showed but you will need to purchase an oriface for LP gas.
