Great explanation and understandable why its been done that way. The problem with burners in fireboxes is getting enough secondary air into the enclosed combustion space. To get the right amount of heat you have to pump the gas in but if you can't get the air in there as well then the gas won't burn. As Kap says that's why I put the extra tubes through my ceramic burner. Even with them installed the flame will go extinguish itself if the blower isn't on when stationary. I'd imagine your setup could work well.

I managed to get the burner out, so I took a picture for all to see. Yes Pete, that is a good explanation about the secnodary air. John

Thank you for posting these pictures; I had been to the meet at Winnipeg about a decade ago, and noticed how many (and how well) these propane burners worked.

I tried building one, but did not get it right, so at least now I have pictures to help.

John,
That was above and beond the call of duty.
One word is worth a thousand words.
do you know the gas port size?
Do you have or need an arch in the firebox
to raise the heat?
What is the blast nozzle like.
i imagine working hard could suck the
flame right out.
Thank you for the photos!!!
