Homemade pipe burners are simple and easy to make. Our pipe burner build instructions use four parts. Pipe burners can be used for many applications. Our propane pipe burner is going to be used in a syrup cooker. It really does put out some heat!
This DIY pipe burner for propane build parts which cost $130 total are pipe, venturi, cap, and orfice.
We show you the easy to build a homemade pipe burner from start to finish. With a little work and using our DIY propane burner build instruction, you can build the burner in about an hour.

Albert & San. Hi. Thanks for the nice comment! The answer is unfortunately no. For meats and non-acidic veggies like green beans, you need to pressure can so the temps get up to 250 deg.

@@useful.knowledge the grilling area is roughlty 24" by 60". but the cooking area will not be that big. so instead of having 3 or 4 short burners like the traditional grill, i think about using 2 long burners running along the length of the grill. from your video, can you adjust the flame higher with the regulator or this is not adjustable. also you mentioned 3 burners, are they tied together into one bottle with 3 separate ball valves? thx for quick reply.

@useful.knowledge 3 жыл бұрын

It is somewhat adjustable using the venturi and the regulator. Also, I bought several of the orfices so that I could drill them out to get the perfect burn. I drilled one out too much and couldn’t get good velocity of the gas. The orfices are the least expensive part of the build so that’s where I concentrated on the gas adjustment.
