[TheForge] Mineral Wool

[Kathy]

Todd,
Since Aussi burners (often called Reil burners because they were shown on his
old site) are assembled from standard pipe parts, and their tapered nozzles can
be purchased ready made from Larry Zoeller, there isn't a lot that can be messed
up on them. With my burner design, even the nozzle is assembled by the builder
and there are lots of ways to mess the burner up; the most common failure is not
actually following the instructions for building the air intakes; thinking
instead that "in the ball park" measurements are close enough, or that the
directions for finishing the front and back surfaces of the air openings can be
dispensed with (wrong, oh so very wrong indeed).

Ok, you have me curious.  I've built my own burners, under Ron's guidance 
(he only lived a few miles from me at the time) and I've got some idea of 
how many different ways you can do the 'same' thing.  What were some of 
the 'differences'?

(I also spent a few years working in QC writing up inspection plans and 
then inspecting the results of somebody else's interpretations of my 
work.  Quite illuminating..)
