To jump right into the heart of the story;
I was bequeathed this way-old kerosene burner that was used to heat up a
kettle, I suppose filled with water. It came with instructions and an
asbestos wick. It has a long "goose neck" which all looks like iron pipe
fitting to me. The burner itself is a continuation of this pipe which
twists into itself to make a coil and then reverts back to the beginning of
the coil where it ends with the orifice facing the end of the coil ready to
shoot out. The coil is also welded to a pan underneath it which is to heat
the coil up with the kerosene before opening the valve and sending a flame.
I hope you are still following me. I could do a much better job drawing
it. The instructions say to use kerosene, which would be in something like
a 100lb tank that you would pump up to pressurize it. The instructions say
"works on the same principle as a plumber's blow torch" and it is dated
December 1955. The company is called "Aeroil" in South Hackensack, New
Jersey. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? I would like to know if
it is safe
the burner could withstand cone 06-04 firings
I can find this tank somewhere
it would require a blower
Any clayarters in South Hackensack New Jersey? This thing just looks too
cool to me.
I really appreciate any help you can give me. thanks
