Right tool for the right job (Jet Burner Cleaner)

#1 Post by fergmeister » Sat Jan 23, 2010 8:07 pm

Some may know that I brew in the back yard. The tower of power lives outside. The burners are covered but the cast iron rusts internally. The tiny orifices in the brass jets have gotten cloged. This may have ocurred because of lack of attention during refilling the HLT resulting in dousing the flame or the former rust dust passing through the micro holes. Regardless, Praxaire has these micro drill bits and a handy holder kit that fix the problem for less than $12.00 including tax. This is slick. I disassembled all 23 jets from the ring, eyeballed the jets 50% were clogged, used the 3 smallest bits (#72 was the smallest) and good as new, Ta Da. The man said Ta Da. BTU's regained, watch out global warming, 55 in January BOOYAH.
