I got the pipe welded in, sorry about the weld pic, the camera was set on black and white (kids)

I need to make a stand or feet and something to hold longer stock. Maybe add a small porch too.

Then I think I'm read to add the koawool.


Looks like I'm out of memory on this site, uploaded pics to a different site and it would not let me link them here.

so here the url sorry, until I figure how to post the pic's

Thanks for the information. I hear ya on the cost of fuel. Good tip on painting the floor with ITC.
Is 8" to big? I can do 3 wraps and make it 6"
CBA? not sure what that is. I could guess at California Blacksmith assc.

Ok updated profile. Sacramento, ca.

I cut the hole for the burner last night, just need to weld in a piece of pipe.

couple progress pic's

So without hesitation, I jumped in with both feet.

I bought a 3/4" burner from Rex at Hybrid burners.

I picked up a 3 20lbs propane tanks from the neighbor when he moved.

I cut the end out of one tank with a jig saw and a slot on the back to allow items to pass through.

Some of my other supplies arrived. Koawool, itc100, rididizer, the propane regulator and ball valve.

I burned the tank in my fire pit for about 15-20 minutes to get the old propane goo out.

I sanded the rust and old paint off, plus its been washed with soap and water.

I'm ready to drill a hole in the tank for the burner holder. From what I have read it should be about 15° off from top dead center.

For the bottom, I just have a common yellow fire brick, I took the grinder and "adjusted it" to fit the tank well. Need to make one more as the tank is about 12" inside. I don't plan to do any welding inside, but could add some ceramic board if that comes up.

Can I use ceramic tile on the sides? It would be nice to have some sides that can resist a bump or two.

I want to get the burner mounted asap and start working on the wool.

I will post pic's later tonight when I get home. Thanks
