I would like to know if anyone knows of companies who sell burners and burner
related equipment for kilns. Any U.S. company selling burners for any gas
fired kilns are of interest. Please feel free to send this info to me
personally if you wish and I will provide a complete listing for the
group once it is complete.
Thanks,
Joe

get yourself a copy of ceramics monthly
there are several listings for different companys
Ward powerburner
Dedell burners
several more on top of that
one of the place to goto for parts is called PYRONICS
they sell burner tips
piolet lights
UV sensors
baso switches
if it burns gas they deal with it
call 1-216-662-8800
they are in clevland OHIO if this number does not work
my advice is to figure out what type of kiln/burners you want to build and
goto one of these people I listed above and buy from them, then you have
someone to call when the kiln god is not working. I have built burners, and
I have installed the dedell burners for people, and I have talked to Marc ward
of Ward power burners, both people are great to work with.
thanks

It is my experience that the big Johnson Power Burners are appropriate for
crucible furnaces, ceramic shell meltouts, and other things requiring
INTENSE localized heat in a hurry, but they deliver far too much
concentrated heat for normal ceramic kiln applications. Historically, with
such burners, as with forced-air oil burners, it was common to have an
extermal or beneath-the-floor firebox to temper the heat before it reached
the wares. It makes for a pretty expensive burner setup.

Vince,
There used to be two updraft kilns at Southern Illinois
University-Carbondale with Johnson burners; one was (and still is) a rebuilt
20 cube Alpine globar and the other was a homebrew 65-70 cu ft deal. Both
sported a single Johnson blower manifolded to a pair of burner tips. The
Globar had little, bunsen-type pilots with thermocouples, and the big
no-name had flame sensor rods and spark ignition which would spring to life
at the push of a button. Both systems had multiple-turn gate valves for
plenty of control of the air, and nice gas ball valves. I found the burner
setup to have very fine control and turndown characteristics. They could be
set to run full tilt with an intense, blue, roaring flame, or pulled way
back to a long, gentle, fluffy blue/orange flame for reducing.
It could be that the air control system was aftermarket or is a newer
development. Hmm.
