It was suggested I start a thread to share my heat exchanger creation. Thanks Earthbound. The posts will be broken up to explain the seperate portions of the system
It has (3) natural gas 23 jet burners that are plumbed using a gas tube instead of a gas pipe. Plates were welded, drilled, and tapped to the 1 1/2" square tubing for each gas line connection. The burners are attached with union joints so they can be swapped for propane burners when the stand is taken to locations and natural gas is not available.
The smaller tube frame around the burners is for the future wind screen.
There is plenty of gas volume from the household gas line and once the boil is goihe flame is turned down to low. It does result in a sooty bottm for the boil kettle but nothing a scrubber can't take care of.
This is where the gas is connected from the house to the stand.
