Title: Dead Eye Lil Gun
Post by: Dead Eye on December 19, 2010, 09:38:18 pm

 Well here is the start on the lil gun. A conversion to a Wayne burner using a Craig Kepner (ckburner) kit.

The first mod is to extend the air tube (blast tube) to hold the preheater and a hole in it for the fuel line.

Started construction of the combustion chamber, It is a piece of 10” pipe with ¼ wall thickness 4.5 feet long. The burner end has a mount ring tack welded to it 10.5” diameter with a 4 ¼” hole for the burner air tube (blast tube) other end has a flange with blank off plate for cleaning out.
First try yielded a nice looking flame burning old soy bean oil but after shut down it was found that the inside wall off the pipe was wet with oil so I will construct a smaller inside pipe (burn tube) to hold the pattern together.

Very interesting.  Cant wait to see how it works out for you.  Lots of custom stuff out here, but mostly drip style.  Thanks for sharing!

Burned a half quart of WVO in it today and it has the dreaded wet chamber. Will make a burn tube soon.
