Help...I dont know why this doesnt work

I have built my first foundry and burner and am not able to use it. My burner is not functioning properly and being an absolute newbie to this...I have no idea what might be wrong.

I followed the instructions and bought a paper copy of the build from Brian Oltrogge.
His video can be viewed here:


The issue with burner can be viewed here:


Here is a review of the plans I followed:


Any help is appreciated.

 

Perhaps that is what my issue is then...
I dont have the regulator from the first video...it was not mentioned in the instruction plans and the hose I have connected is what I found at home depot. I will look for a different regulator to swap it out with.
Thanks for the info...hopefully that corrects my issue.

Will pick this up this afternoon and see if this helps...

Bummer...guess I wont be going to Home Depot tonight then. Looks like the highest they have is a 30psi regulator...will get a 60 psi regulator off Amazon...

I might still go to Home Depot either way though...

 

This is my fist attempt at any of this...so im not really sure what my final "needs" will be. Right now im looking at just doing propane as a fuel source, but liked the idea of being able to use the oil port on this design for alternate fuels in the future as I get to know the hobby better.

All in all right now I would like to make a sand cast from a 3d printed part....make an aluminum mold from said 3d part and then use that mold to make some custom lead SCUBA weights...

 

I generally run my Reil style propane burner at around 15 psi so I think the 30psi one would probably be adequate.

 

In spite of what I've already said, get the highest psi regulator that's available to you. There's no down side and no one wants to find out the hard way that what they've bought is inadequate.

 

Good point, perhaps I should have worded that differently and said, get the highest capacity regulator available to you.

 

That seems ill advised, in order to do that safely, it would require one way valves on both the air and propane supplies located just prior to the mixing point to ensure the air and propane mix ONLY where to want them to mix.

 

im afraid most of this is still over my head on how and where the gasses should mix together. All I can really say is watch the first video...that is the system that seem to work and that I built my burner from. From how I understood the design...it was intended to be used for oil or propane.

Either way, I have a 0-30psi regulator that was suppose to come in yesterday...hope it comes in today so I can start playing with the air flows and see what happens when I start adjusting knobs. As soon as I get that installed and tested I will report back.

@DavidF How do you identify the restrictor you had to drill out of your regulator?
