In Topic: Natural Gas PSI

01 March 2011 - 10:26 PM

IIRC, natural gas has lower specific energy rating (J/kg or BTU/lb) than propane. That should mean it takes slightly less air per weight of fuel burned. Not sure exactly what that means for an aspirated burner since I haven't dealt with one, but... maybe scaling down the burners would help?

Anyways, I'm pretty sure 2 PSI would work plenty good if you add a blower- I run my propane one at less that 1 PSI using an old squirrel cage blower, and the specific energy isn't *that* different. Maybe just a black pipe T fitting, and that would be that?

Here's a rough sketch of what I want to do.

The red dots are the proposed rivet locations.



I'll be able to work on it tomorrow, so I'll post an update after that.

I think I'll try out the unadorned handles, and add on wood scales if it really needs it.

Thanks for the advice!

Looking handmade would be nice, but it's in no way a requirement.

Looks like the way to go would be to suck it up and practice riveting until I get it right :P

I would think A36 rivets would rust, so for the final project I'd have to get a rod of stainless?
