melting solder ?
by: Tori

I thought of using the copper tubing as well, but am concerned about the solder melting from the heat. Is this a concern ? Also, where did you find your adjustable regulator ? Have any pictures of the pit in action ?

Table
by: David B

I've since built 5 of these for friends and family! Everyone "loves" them, and I'm getting ready to build 2 more for a couple of guys at work (who's wives are very upset they didn't get the parts to me earlier).

Copper
by: David B

I've changed up the copper a bit. I'm using 1/2 copper tubing, and have gone away from the coil to just a 4 (jet) outlet. This puts out a much better flame.

So, from the bottom up, 1/2" by 2" up to a "T" split off of that with just enough pipe to add another "T" to each end. From that "T" you add just enough pipe to a 90 degree elbow and point it up. No need for any pipe out of the other end of the elbow.

This will give you 4 jets pointing upwards in a square, which gives you plenty of flame, keeps it tight in the center and away from loose clothing and hair when in a breezy situation.

I've also incorporated an adjustable regulator to add, or lessen the amount of flame. I use a 10 pound regulator and it throws "A Lot" of flame if wanted!!!

When storing it, just put a 1/2 cap, with a short piece of pipe in each hole so water, bugs, and debris doesn't get inside.

How many holes?
by: Anonymous

That's great. How many and what size holes did you use in the copper?
