Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.
I built a truck rim burner using a water heater burner, and I'm wondering if made it correctly. The top of the burner is a good 4" down inside from the bead of the rim. Is this gonna be too far down to get enough heat? Should I have flames touching the underside of the keg? I played around with a keg filled with 10 gallons of 55 deg water and after just over 1 1/2 hrs it hit 161.
If my burner turns out to be set in too far, I did make it where I should be able to just flip the rim over, weld on some more angle iron supports for the keg, and reinstall the burner on that side. The rim has a couple inches of offset in the center... I'm wondering if I should have it set up where the burner is about 2" closer to the keg.
