I originally posted this in DIY, but I don't think that was the right category. Mods, please forgive me...
Hello all,
Let me first start by saying THANK YOU to everyone for all of their posts on their DIYs, especially Brutus 10s. I have been admiring and reading from afar and decided to build my own brutus 10.
I have no experience with pilots and electricity, but I do have some friends that are pretty decently experienced with it.
So, I have my frame built out and welded and have purchased 3 banjo burners from Northern Brewer: http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/cast-iron-banjo-burner-burner-only.html, as well as the 30psi Regulator Kit http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/30psi-regulator-kit-for-banjo-burner.html.
Now, after researching for days & days and hours & hours, I'm still not quite sure what items to purchase for the pilot and automation. I have seen many opinions and some pictures, but no real direction because a lot of the pictures have been moved over time and are no longer there. From what I understand, I need to purchase these products (see below) for the burner pilot. Let me know if this is correct and/or what I need to add or purchase.
For Pilot:
- Gas Valve Part # Honeywell VR8300A3500
- Pilot Burner Q314A4586
- Thermocouple Q390A1061
Where do you recommend I purchase the above parts?
Now, for the automation & control panel:
If using the above products (again, if all are correct), what products should be used to make the automation control panel?
Again, thanking everyone in advance for their time and advice. After I get this all figured out and built, I vow to create a post with all of this info for newbies to come.
Cheers!
-Pete
