Mayhem:
Sounds like you are making some progress Neo.  More pictures would be helpful.

MetalCaster - have you posted any info on your oil burner on here at all?  Oil is my only fuel option, as I have an abundance of it and propane is too expensive.
NeoTech:
So.. well. burner experimentation continues.. and some.. figuring out.. I guess cuz i cant really find this info myself and had to read some gas physics.

NeoTech:
Reference regarding venturi gas speeds..

MetalCaster:
Thanks Ironman, I did not notice that post, yep, the details of the oil burner are at that post.

I used my propane burner again yesterday.
It started the oscillation and then burning in the burner tube, and I had to remember to close the choke down quite a bit to start it.

As I said before, this type of propane burner is very sensitive to choke position.
I have to start mine with the choke open about 1/4".

Once things start to heat up, I can increase gas pressure and open the choke a relative amount.

If I open the choke too far, the burner goes unstable.

But with the correct choke opening, the burner should work fine and not blow back into the burner tube.
