Fire table build

[Tungsten,]

I've been searching for awhile on how to make a propane burner when i cane across whats called a log burner. I guess back in the day wood burning fire places had these.simply add some black pipe with some holes in it for a burner and your good. For a test i made a wood tray covered the pipe with gravel and works fine. Just have to make a table now. Sure beets paying $3K for one.
Also a regular BBQ regulator doesn't have enough pressure so you need to buy one that can has more pressure The one i got was 0-30 psi. Your able to adjust the flame this way.

Hope this helps someone else whos trying to do the same

I’m not sure wood would have been my first choice for constructing a fire table. . .

He said he did that "for a test.....

I'dimagine black pipe with holes in is pretty descriptive in this case. Black pipe with holes drilled in it. Spacing and size is up to you as that alters the type of flames provided.

That's cool. What exactly does the log burner do though? It it a flame back burn arrest? I have one of those in my wood burning fire place but have been nervous to try it. It has a ball valve handle on the wall too.

Not exactly sure what's in the log lighter. The air hole wide open works the best. The end has 3/8 Threads and I've tried both 3/8 and 1/2 black pipe(gas line)for a burner. The regulator allows a lot of gas if you turn it up so holes could be 1/16 1-4" appart. Once the fire glass goes over the burner you get the same effect. The fire pan im just going to use tile over cement board over ply.
You can buy similar kits all in SS but there pricey.
The black pipe will rust if left un covered.I'm building this for under my patio so i think it will work

Make sure to post pics when the build is finished!

Thinking the same. That is OSB. Glue and wood. Design looks good but I would be rethinking the material used.

So it seams to work. The brazing that is ,just took a little sanding. I cheated a ran some silver soder over the braze was a lot easier to sand

I assumed you were a welder because of tungsten. Maybe not? Anyways, aluminum is easy enough to weld if you have the tools/skills.... Never actually tried brazing it but maybe it's working for you. As far as grinding, use a sanding disc (I call them Flapper discs). Basically a whole bunch of overlapping pieces of sandpaper made into a disc. They will clog up quick with soft metals like aluminum though. Might need a few.

no not a welder,thanks for the disk tip ,i just happen to have one.
heating the part up is the challenge , its too big for my bbq .going to try map gas next.

Black pipe with holes is pretty vague? What’s the burner look like?
