Do you use a butane refill cartridge for lighters or a normal propane bottle?
Could you explaine how the "venturi system" works or do you know a good manual? Your link is no longer available.
His venturi system works on the same principle as this propane burner works in fact you could use this one for the same thing
This pic shows that this burner does mix propane with the correct amount of air for neutral combustion
note the camera screwed up the colors in this pic
it is quite a brilliant idea to use a venturi to mix propane with air at the correct ratio for a combustion cannon
The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!

Thank you for your explanation
But it still looks very complicated to rebuild it - or can I find such a venture system somewhere else and remove it?
He's using such a butane bottle right?

I'm sorry, my English is not so good but I'll try my best!
