Weber Genesis Platinum, I bought in Wausau,Wisconsin. Will be drastically modified.

OH OH!

 

[MarkCuda]

Do/would I need a value ?
I was thinking of a adjustable propane regulator
That's what I have for my turkey fryer.

 

[Bruce]

I think those adjustable regulators are on high pressure lines and I think you could turn your IR burner into a flame thrower if you are not careful. There won't be a reasonable limit to the "high" range for the burner. I just don't know for sure how an IR burner would handle excess gas flow.

 

[MarkCuda]

Yup, I know nothing about a IF burner, I hate going into this totally blind

 

[Bruce]

I am sure there will be others who can chime in with advice. I know @LMichaels has some good experience with them.

So just for clarity, you want to mount the IR burner, in/on the lid somehow?

No, I'm mounting a IR burner kit from Amazon to the left of the cookbox.
Where the lift off shelf is=space not being used.

 

[Cody Bratton]

Ahhh. Now I see. Since you have a tank over there, I assume you will use that for the IR burner?

 

[LMichaels]

You do not want to use an adjustable regulator on anything but a very high output/high pressure appliance. I.E. a Ready Heater, turkey fryer, etc. Which consume HUGE quantities of LP at very high (nearly full tank pressures). Those IR burners are made for 10-11" LP or 3-7 NG pressures depending on if the NG one is set up to use a regulator or not

 

[MarkCuda]

Here's where it's going.

 

[Bruce]

Did you order it yet? Have you checked the dimensions of the burner to see if it would drop in without significant mods to the grill frame?

 

[LMichaels]

Well since there are 2 tanks, makes plumbing it easier

 

[Bruce]

Yep. That thing is going to weigh 150 lbs of grilling stainless steel.

 

[MarkCuda]

Bruce, I have not ordered it yet, it looks like it'll fit the opening

Larry, what do I need for a control valve ?
I don't need electronic ignition, I can light it with a long charcoal lighter.

Bruce, modifications don't bother me

 

[Cody Bratton]

Having a sear-side table sounds pretty damn cool, and is fitting on this monster!

Honestly look for a regular valve that will pass the level of gas needed for the BTU of the burner. Maybe like a valve from an older Weber side burner

 

[MarkCuda]

Do I need some kind of a manifold ?

 

[Bruce]

Pretty sure it will just be a gas line from the valve to IR burner.

 

[LMichaels]

Not really, just a valve and a venturi (for proper air/fuel mixing). I think the burner will come with a "nipple" that should slide into a venturi. Would be my guess.
