    Default Gas burner

    Gday Guys,
    I am wanting to have a crack at making a mini aluminium foundry out of a old 9kg gas bottle.
    I think i have worked out the refractory and general design
    Would really appreciate some info re the gas burner.
    I am going to use a normal bbq propane/lpg gas cylinder for the flame. My question is what necessary modifications or parts do i need to make it adequate to do the job?
    Also what can I use or where can i buy the correct compound for the degassing?
    many thanks Max

    So, which threads here and links on similar forums have you looked at so far?
    Which of the several dozen designs available with great detail do you have specific questions on?
