Where To Buy A Nasa Burner

[Arghonaut]

I bought one of the mega jets after looking at all the options, in combination with the BCF crab pot with insert which fits the burner stand perfectly, mainly because i could pick it up locally (in Coffs Harbour) and the savings i made in postage on other options made it good value. To test it out and measure evaporation i put 20L of cold tap water in, it had it boiling 11 minutes later. Hard to argue with that kind of grunt.

Also narrowly averted potential disaster.... the burner came with the regulator hose sticking straight up vertically.....I didnt even think about it and fired it up, a few minutes later i noticed the hose was looking a bit funny, the heat was starting to melt it! Make sure the hose is pointing down!

This looks like a good deal for someone starting out into BIAB or if someone just needs a turkey frier
It is in the current Mitre 10 junk mail from Port Lincoln.
Interested people may have to do a bit of hard negotiating with their local M10.

Nice find, the burner by itself costs that much at most places, can think of plenty of uses for a 20 litre pot with an insert if/when you inevitably upgrade to a bigger pot.

So, amazon order just came in, which contained http://amzn.com/B0047O3PRK and http://amzn.com/B0033JF0GE

I ordered the kingkooker over the bayou bg10 because it contained the orifice (the bayou orifice wasn't available directly from amazon so shipping was crazy)

Just opened up the box for the burner, and it's missing the air shutter spring (and one of the air shutter screws )
I don't know that I'll have a suitable spring just lying around though, I'll have a look - I might be able to uncoil and trim another spring

What surprised me, was just how large the holes on the air shutter were I thought it was going to be basically identical to the bayou



I'm planning on cutting a larger hole (in the stud pattern area) of a 15" rim and probably using hose clamps to strap it up, then resting the rim on cinder blocks.
I've heard mention of others doing similar but haven't seen any photos - anyone able to shed some light on how others have done it?

Hi bond

Try it without the air control.
With a hp regulator you probably wont need it.
I know others on here have taken the air plate off and with mine I run it with the thing wide open anyway.
10 years and still going strong.

Cheers

edit; just had a closer look at the pic and you will need some sort of gas tap/control between the regulator and the burner.

He shouldn't need to, the regulator is adjustable (that's how i control mine)
I'll quickly go grab a pic of my car wheel BIAB stand for you

3 pieces of angle for legs, 2 pieces of angle over the top to sit the keggle on and another small piece of angle at the back as a heat shield for the tap
just used an angle grinder to cut a slot out for the burner to sit in (took a few discs)
i'd say you might want to use a few more pieces of angle inside the wheel to sit/mount the burner on

Now that's a wheely good burner

Who said you didn't have a RIMS system

Ok, cut up the rim a little with the plasma cutter.

A 50L keg will sit perfectly within the lip of the rim, so I'll probably just weld on a few tabs to stop the keg from sliding off.

How would one work out the shipping costs, or if they even ship to Australia on Amazon? I know its a US sight but I can't even find a link to ask the seller about shipping details.

 

[Macdoc]

Actually, scratch that. The NASA burners are now only $90 including shipping, 22% off atm.

You might find you'll need more air holes cut in the bottom/side of the rim
i had my keg lower down at first on some bbq grating, and not enough air was getting in, leading to a bright orange flame
guess you'll just have to experiment and see

Can anyone tell me whether an Australian regulator hose will attach to the orifice that comes with this NASA burner?

Cheers,

Thomas.

I wasn't sure; and the regulator I ordered above is a POL fitting (will screw into the POL gas bottles available here) - only annoying thing about it is it's shipping weight is marked as 8 pounds which makes it a little expensive to ship (compared to the average amazon global expedited of <$5 per item), but still very cheap for a 40 PSI adjustable reg ...

The orifice threads are 3/8-Inch - someone maybe able to tell you whether that's the standard on our reg hoses?

Does anyone know wether the SP10 SP10 NASA Burner and the regulator that comes with can be attached to Australian Standard LPG gas bottles?

See the post above yours

 

[Wolfman]

Can these burners use mains gas?

 

[sp0rk]

I believe not, as they're jetted for LPG/Propane

If you want to use a 4.5 or 9kg you will need an adapter.
I have bought them before at bcf. About $10 by memory.

Just bought a spare NASA burner from Amazon $16.00 AUD $31.45 includeing freight. At that price I would really kick myself not haveing a spare one especially if my original stuffs in the middle of a boil.

i have a nasa and fail to see how it can stuff up mid brew, its just hunk of iron with holes in it. Unless you store it outside in the rain i cant see it breaking. Definately take off the air intake control. It runs better without it.

Hi Wolfman

Many years ago I had an old gas fired copper for cooking crabs in.
It had the same burner and could run on town gas but I would assume that you may need some sort of control.
I think if you spoke to a gas fitter/trades person, particularly an older aged one you may find how you can run it on mains gas.

Cheers

Sorry to drag up an old post but I was doing a bit of house keeping and though this might be helpful to others looking at getting a NASA burner.

Here is a review I wrote about it a while ago and should have originally done it in here.
