My thread on the BBQ pit forum got closed. I scored another star for my
shoulder //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Just like certain audio forums, people are biased in their own ways and aren't
open minded. 99% of the folks don't like a gas mod inside a pit.
So.... I ordered parts to make my own gas assembly and I might have the pit
fabricators just build some brackets to make the gas module install easier,
this comes back to the old saying "you want someone done right, DIY".
When parts come in, lets see if I can blow something up. I'll do a better CAD
drawing for youse to see.....................
If you know anything about propane gas plumbing / design.... raise yer hand.
I've looked at store bought designs and some internet stuff, the concept seems easy.
Propane Tank -> Regulator -> gas pipe manifold -> valve -> orifice -> burner
Orifice hole size is one of the big variables. They sell the orifice with a #70 {very tiny} hole
and it's your job to drill it out bigger for desired flame. Bigger hole, bigger flame. For BBQ,
you don't want a flamethrower design, you want a nice blue flame {no yellow} so I ordered
many orifices to experiment with.
It's amazing that these things work with the orifice just sitting loosely in the burner hole,
not screwed in at all.
I'm thinking of usiing brass 1/4" pipe with tee's for the 5 valve gas manifold...
Comments?
