Could you post the dimension of the orifice and diameter of the jar that sustained on propane? I was curious how it compares to the methanol jars. Happy Whooooshing!

Yup, will do, i will dig out the film as well and post the dims up as well this weekend

Thanks all, im inspired to start tinkering with snorkels on the myriad of steel reynst type pots i have, roll on the weekend

ahhh, ok are there any rules of thumb with how long the snorkel should be, anyone?

Hi all, very interesting stuff, can anyone tell me why snorkels are being used at all?, not a criticism just curious.

Are they better starters than a std jam jar pot or do they seem to run longer.

cheers

Ok I'll try and dig it out , i have it some where

Fascinating stuff Joe, I have an internal annular ring in one of mine- the best runner it glows yellow hot when at full chuff and stays that way for long propane runs. I dont think propane quality is the problem its the delivery - incredibly sensitive both in terms of the amount delivered and the fl...

Nice one Mike, on one of mine i placed a washer around the intake hole with a recess or under cut around the face then just silconed it in place. this gave an annular slit around the intake. a small hole drilled into the void between the washer and the top was used to drip fuel into this space this ...

Hi all, just thought I'd add to the mix. I see some of you guys persevering to use liquid fuels, ive run pots on meths and veg oil amoungst others, but thought id ask if anyone has pursued gas fuel?, my longest run (20 mins plus) was on propane. There is a film of it running, including the set up. M...

Hi Ash,

fascinating build, i watch with keen interest!
just a quick note ref 303ss, I love the stuff personally, one more good thing about it is its really nice/easy to machine,every little bit helps!

Nick

Yes, a lathe is a good thing , in fact the lathe (metal cutting) is a the foundation stone on which almost everything else we have is built on, with a lathe you can build everything else you could want including a bigger lathe.
(given the time obviously)

Fascinating stuff, really looking forward to a video

Nick

Thanks M, pity you cant make it but im sure there will be plenty of films

Following the meet at Severnside Firing range adjacent to the M4, it is suggested that if there was sufficient support for the idea we organise an annual event starting say august 2010 at this location. Due to its unique location there are few noise restrictions and loads of space in which to carry ...

very mysterious, annoying creatures they can be too! However i do have one that runs ( or did run anyway, i havent run it for a while) for as long as you want it to, i have a 20 minute film of it running on propane, Graham has seen it if you want verification. Nick I never tried that, but I did wond...

Good morning Nick. With the price of household energy going up I think we should get that pot of yours running again!! Keep well. I hope to see you soon. Let's make some waves on the Welsh boarders? Best Regards Graham. Hi Graham, You're right mate, I'll get some more meths, then you're on! :D Nick
