So I am in the middle of my Brutus10 clone build, and have hit my first snag with the burners. This will be a LP NG build, so I bought the BG-14 burners from here:
https://www.proflow-dynamics.com/products/homebrew-hardware/homebrew-burners/banjo-burner.html
And then bought the NG orifices from here:
https://www.brewershardware.com/Valve-and-NG-Orifice-for-BURN10-BURNVALVENAT.html

The problem lies in that the threads on the back of the burner "bell" look to be 1/8" NPT and not 1/4" NPT so the orifices I bought won't thread. My question is, can I simply drill out the threads on the BG-14 to 1/4" and re-thread, or am I better off buying the banjo 1/8" -1/4" orifice adapter and using that? I don't want to decrease performance of the burners since I do 13-14 gallon boils.

Thanks in advance!
