I'd like to know what burner you used. The link is not showing the burner now. can you show which one it is? also was wondering how you connected your blower to your roaster.


The burner is from a typical lightweight propane camping stove. I did drill out the jet to get more gas flow. I updated the link to a similar burner.

The blower nozzle was a slip fit into a 1.5" PVC coupling glued into the air plenum box and sealed with some silicone sealant.

This is a closeup of how I plumbed the burner by silver soldering a tube fitting to the burner. The burners do vary so you will likely have to adapt the burner you buy. I have seen others use a propane torch burner.
