What's that I hear? "Hey, Y'all! WATCH THIS!"

(4' flame, tanks 2' away in a wind, riiiiiiight.)

LOL!

Thanks for your concern, and the reasoned and constructive input!

Jewelcome.


FWIW, the tank is a bit farther away than the perspective makes it
appear, and if the flame is 4' high then the tank is about 4' away and

OK, then it wasn't a Redneck Holiday pic after all. I apologize
for my humorous and poetic license.


vice versa, though I understand your desire for poetic license. It
just makes it sound a little better to exaggerate.

In that pic, it looked like the tank was less than a tank's height
away while the flame was 1.5-2 times the tank height. Due to
perspective, there was no intended exaggeration.


I don't see how this rig is substantially different from a gas grill
in which the burner is directly above the tank.

Gas grills have regulators and 2" tall flames within a properly
vented semi-enclosed area. If you don't see a difference, just
say "Yee Haw!"


On my SunBeam 450 Grill Master grill there are 3 openings in the
bottom of the grill body beneath the burner, roughly 3"x5" in size,
that are 14 inches -directly above- the tank valve/regulator assembly.
I'm sure SunBeam would like your input... :-)

They'd soil their drawers if they saw your pics.

But HEY, _I_ like living dangerously, too. I rewire the house with the
cables live, stand on the top of the ladder, climb on the roof without
a safety rope, fly in helicopters, shoot machine guns, drive fast on
curves, speed on the freeway, ride motorcycles, and all sorts of other
fun stuff. I just don't show people -pictures- of how I do some of my
more foolish antics. g

But since the perspective was screwy in the pic, it wasn't a foolish
antic after all. Carry on!
