Testing the Gas Burner

Finally I’ve gotten the gas burner in the mail from Laguna Clay. Its a venturi burner meaning that it works on gas pressure to draw in the proper amount of air for burning controlled trough a choke. when it came in the mail I couldn’t wait to test fire it, as soon as i opened the box and picked up that 11 lb monster of a burner. in the photos the burner is running at 15 PSI about half way turned up and putting our about 355,000 BTU just an insane amount of heat. The entire tool shop was heated up in just a few minutes pretty impressive since it was about 25 degrees on that day. over all the test fire was a success and will be used in the final kiln design parried with a 100lb propane tank so it wont freeze up while firing.
