This sure looks like a nice piece of equipment for 20bucks.. https://www.amazon.com/TJIRIS-Denta...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=9H9ZHEY79V34REJWEFMS
yeah and I've already got natural gas at the bench. Why I'm jacking around with alcohol is beyond me. You could run your bunsen burner off propane. Stick a hose on the end of your little propane tank burner and run it to the bunsen.
You call that a Bunsen burner??, now THIS is a Bunsen burner!......it's actually intended for coal gas use with it's low pressure/energy content.
Yeah I had thought of doing that but I don't need another reason for the popo to think I'm a lord. Plus I want to connect my bbq tank to the burner. 20 bucks of propane is 20 lbs vs four of those camping cylinders for 5 each. 20 lb tank would last months
I've seen a few laboratory fires caused by that clear poly tubing by people who should know better. The proper rubber gas tubing may perish faster but it won't get soft, come off and start a fire due to the bunsen burner getting warm after running all day.
I'm just going to use the rubber reinforced oxy acetylene tubing. With a barb. Got it all ready at home.
Yeah, you shouldn't use hose that has pvc in it. Here's the right stuff. https://www.fishersci.com/shop/prod...n-burner-connecting-hose-bunsen-burner/s12817
Hey Zap.. Watch this listing, it pops with a 3buck coupon at the top.. I got one for 10bucks.. I'll let you know if it suxs. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1pc-30-Den...5?pageci=da36c165-fa4a-476d-b19a-b0355bcdcbfe
Yeah let me know. I have an old burner from chemistry so maybe I'll hook it up with some hose before buying another.
I'll let ya know.. It says propane, but I want to try natural gas. Gas is just 6feet from where I work. I'm done with alcohol lamps. My copper thing goes Chernobyl when the fluid level is touching the pipes. When it drops, I cant see the flame. I've burnt my dumbass a few time this past week and I'm about sick of it.
Yeah I was wondering about that. I tried the lamp many years back but got rid of it almost immediately in favor of the camping propane canisters with a plumber's torch. I want to change to a propane bbq tank with a bunsen burner. I like the low height of the bunsen burner and the larger capacity of the bbq tank. The camping canisters last about a week of heavy use but longer would be cheaper, hence the propane tank.
You can buy a valve at tractor supply for about $20 that will allow you to refill your camping cylinders from a larger propane tank. I've never used one but it looks like it works pretty good. Pete
Refilling a propane cylinder inside your garage is the definition of insanity. People will die doing this; that is a fact. Mother Nature's way of weeding out the mentally infirm I guess. .
Its not insane, propane is heavier than air. So just sit a candle on the floor to burn off any propane that escapes...
I'm cheap, but not so cheap I'd refill these little cans. Can it be done? Sure it can. just not by this cheapskate.
Yeah I'd rather just hook up the hose to the big bbq tank. That way no fiddling with refilling. Supposedly refilling is dangerous? But then again given how safe foundry work is I'm sure the danger is minimal in comparison haha.
Those cans say not refillable I'm pretty sure, but I'm also the type that rips annoying tags off my pillow. Don't tell the MyPillow guy... Now there is an interesting man. He was a crack addict not long ago and turned his life around.
