Commercial burners for homemade furnace
In article , Piccolo Pete
wrote: I went into a restaraunt supply store the other day and saw some wicked burners for stoves. About twenty or so jets pointed in every upward angle being fed by what appeared to be a cast iron ring. These came in various sizes but were all priced at $35. All of them looked like they put out some serious heat, but... It seems to me that there would be a need to get oxygen in the furnace to keep it burning and the burners themselves would quickly melt within a furnace environment. Anybody else ever seen these things and thought the same thing I did? Those are commercial Wok burners, for asian cooking. Theya re called Jet burners for good reason. They are designed to get a BIG Wok really hot really fast. All they need is a big opening below to suck air in. |

Gunner "The people who believe that, as a result of industrial development, life is about to become a hell, or may be one already, are guilty, at least, of sloppy pronouncements. On page 8 of Earth in the Balance, Al Gore claims that his study of the arms race gave him "a deeper appreciation for the most horrifying fact in all our lives: civilization is now capable of destroying itself." In the first place, the most horrifying fact in many of our lives is that our ex-spouse has gotten ahold of our ATM card. And civilization has always been able to destroy itself. The Greeks of ancient Athens, who had a civilization remarkable for lack of technological progress during its period of greatest knowledge and power, managed to destroy themselves just fine." -- P.J. O'Rourke, All the trouble in the world. The lighter side of famine, pestilence, destruction and death. |

I have eaten, and enjoyed, my share of menudo but when I went to a buddy's house and his father-in-law's mother ("Abuela" or grandmother to everyone) was cooking menudo from scratch it was almost more than I could handle. First there was the pile of guts being cleaned and cut up and then there was the smell of it cooking. All that done, with a cold beer and all the hot home made corn tortillas Abuela could throw at you, it was great. And for you guys that say "I don't eat guts", I would ask, have you ever had a bowl of pepper pot soup? Welcome to Anglo-American, poorly seasoned, menudo. I'm a Mainer now, but I still miss the good Mexican food in California. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
