What you're seeing: At first the blower is off but compressed air is on. I open the fuel a bit, and you can see the vapor. Then I light the vapor with a Mapp gas torch. You see my temporary blower adjustment (a purposely misaligned vacuum cleaner hose held by a brick!) Then I turn on the vacuum cleaner blower. Flame is high. Then I reduce the fuel supply a little so I can get a closer shot of the furnace barrel. The video doesn't quite give the feel of it in bright daylight. That's quite a bit of flame! |
