hey guys!
so as i'm comign into the world of weldless bulkheads and such... i ran mine for the first time last night and came to the conclusion that it is going to get very very hot to the touch, and possibly melt the coating on the handle. so i need to rig up some sort of a heat sheild above the burner under the valves, but not too sure what to rig up that wouldn't either A) get way too hot (red hot) B) be too dangerous C) cost effective.
original plan was just get a sheet of sheet metal from home depot or lowes and cut it to the shape i needed (picture below, i would cut a trapezoid shape and place it in there, however with my other burner, it would not be as easy... i did search but only came up with 3-4 pictures of kegs, and i'm not using kegs
So, show me yours so i can get some ideas!
Thanks!
