Heat Gun...Max Capability?

Using the plate to increase pressure in the furnace area is my own personal preference. For me, it makes for a less 'bouncy' bean mass. It also allows for increased control of how the airstream is routed thru the heat element/ liner. -Scott JETROASTER attached the following image:

In this fairly low pressure case, pressure is measured in 'inches of water lift' In a much higher scenario, we'd likely measure pressure 'pounds per square inch' -Scott

It shows the original strainer .......next to a trimmed down one that has been installed. The drain opening would be somewhere about 1.5" I would check a restaurant supply for the shaker. Given their size and lack of decoration ....it seems like a foodservice thing. Good luck. -Scott JETROASTER attached the following image:

So, I'm stickin' with 'Neo-Steampunk' Here's a decent shot from mid 2011. Next step for this thing is a matching cyclonic separator. -Scott JETROASTER attached the following image:

One is the small propane bottle(Thanks Dan) and regulator that come with a table-top grill. It has the potential to deliver 12,000 btu. (I would also be using the fuel tip) The other option would be a basic hand held blow torch....cannabilized as needed. However, I am unclear as to whether or not those things have a regulator ....or is it just bottle-pressure? Additionally , I saw no BTU ratings. My gut tells me some would be hot enough for the job, but some insight would be helpful. Thanks -Scott JETROASTER attached the following images:

I'm new to the forum and I am in the process of planning and getting parts to build a similar fluid bed. I just received what I believe to be the same element you used here (master 30312) and I have the same issue, it's bigger than I expected and doesn't fit my current design. I'd love to know how you reaolved this. Did you use a larger pipe or reconfigure the structure of the element? Ive learned a ton from your posts here as well as your other comments throughout the forum so thanks for all the good info! Alec Can't afford it? Just build it
