I have done just what you're looking for. Made a little fire flower like you see at burner events.<div><br></div><div>You need one of these:</div><div><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Century%C2%AE-Propane-Stove-Regulated-Converter/dp/B000GPLIZU/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1303853105&sr=1-13">http://www.amazon.com/Century%C2%AE-Propane-Stove-Regulated-Converter/dp/B000GPLIZU/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1303853105&sr=1-13</a></div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Century%C2%AE-Propane-Stove-Regulated-Converter/dp/B000GPLIZU/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1303853105&sr=1-13"></a>As the description says, its for converting an old liquid fuel stove to use propane. I think they have them at home depot and lowes, but I didn't find any on their websites. That long rod unscrews, and you're left with a perfect little valve and regulator assembly with standard female pipe thread to hook up to.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Then just get some copper tubing and compression fittings, and you've got yourself a nice hookup to whatever you want!</div><div><br></div><div>I hooked up a Tee and ran one side to another valve, and one to a solenoid valve. The low pressure line goes to a fire flower cut out of copper with steel wool in the middle to disperse the flame. The high pressure line from the solenoid comes up the middle of the flower. I open up the valve on the tank but keep the tee'd valve low. If I activate the solenoid valve I temporarily get full pressure through the middle of the flower. Makes flames shoot out of it a foot or so!</div>
<div><br></div><div>Unfortunately it's a 24V solenoid, which is a pain to deal with (I wanted to make it battery powered) so I never finished it. I was going to mount it in a flower pot and make it look all nice. Never did!</div>
<div><br></div><div>Anyway, let me know if you have any more questions!</div><div>-Taylor</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 26, 2011 at 1:45 PM, rachel lyra hospodar <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rachel@mediumreality.com">rachel@mediumreality.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

have you thought about taking apart an old camp stove? i might have one<br>
you can use, one of the green suitcase kind. dunno if that's big enough<br>
for you.<br>
