It works.

I have gotten much better flames than this out of it, but started focusing on new burner designs.

It fires my mini furnace and melts like crazy.

In summary, it's a good burner design that is able to be made easily and cheaply with VERY few tools.

I need to make myself one of these just to have a propane burner. Be a great weed pile starter :)

The Mako burner I just designed is far more efficient and versatile, IMHO.

I think you would like being able to change the jets out, among other things.

I'll be posting an instructional on the mako burner VERY soon. I want to see if the results are reproducible.
