Flame mix

Just a quick note about using propane burners: your ideal fuel/O2 mix will yield a flame that is cone-shaped, blue (with just a hint of orange at the tip) and touches the burner orifice. You can preserve your propane by using this guideline.

YMMV, of course.

 

I've always wondered that.. seem I need to adjust mine a little..

Thanks!

 

This is one thing I haven't thought to look up, thanks!

 

Whether it not this will give you enough heat is another question, but this is the ideal mix in terms of fuel consumption.

 

Interesting; I used my banjo burner for the first time 2 weeks ago and saw NO flame whatsoever. I only knew it was running because I saw the heat waves reflected on the ground. I boiled 10 gallons in about 45 minutes, valve cracked about 25%, no scortching. Are you using a dual jet burner of a multijet burner like a banjo?
