inside is 10"W X 6"H x24 D" I had it set for 5 burners but that was over
kill it is now set to 3 I use 1 or 2 most of the time the pyrometers toped
out at over 2400F. lined with blanket ,castable floor and sheet roof.
Burners are 1" and using .30 mig tips for the jet.
 8 oz would be nice but hey I'm happy with 6# It runs at 1Psi but I like it
best at 6PSI
I'll put up a pic on my web page one of these weeks
