Well fittings for atmospheric burner didn't arrive today as promised so decided to cast up lid.
The pictures
1. Welded rack bolts to lid and welded ready rod to bolt heads. Rapped rods with wire to support refractory and installed fender washers on ends for extra support.
2. Turned down piece of firewood with slight taper for vent hole.
3. The insulating mix 1 part fireclay 2 parts crushed insulating firebrick.
4. Wrapped vent plug with saran wrap (hopefully it will release). Filled lid with mix tappered down around vent and left 1" for the hotface.
5. Mixed and poured the hotface and made up 2 plith blocks with my leftover.
Covered all with plastic to allow curing overnight. Will give it a light spray before turning in tonight.
Cheers Modders

Cut the burner port in the brick lining this morning. Turned up a pattern for casting the burner tube. It is made in 2 parts because the pattern cannot be removed in either direction as 1 piece. A centered screw allows the 2 pieces to be seperated. The pattern has a 15* flare where the flaring flame would imping on the refractory.
Well my fittings just arrived so I may get that burner done today.

Compleated building the atmospheric burner. It is based on the Ron Reil burners and Rupert Wenig modifications. My gas jet is a salvaged air jet drilled to a #52 drill. My bell reducer is 2 1/2" to insure sufficient air at high settings. This burner does not require a fan so when not burning oil this would be the preffered burner, it does require higher gas pressure. Rather than get too long winded here I am including 2 PDF's from Ron Reil's site. If you like this sort of stuff, please visit Ron's site, thiers lots more there.
Uncovered lid and removed vent pattern. Only scared vent hole a little bit. :) Will leave to dry till it can be fired.
Cheers
