After trying to get this version up and running well and never seeing the results I was expecting I gave it one last chance. I did finally get some blue flames (that would not show up on film), but never got flames shooting out the top of the heat riser. So I tore it down for inspection and clean-out.

As you can see it is nothing fancy but it is holding up for the most part. But do take in to consideration that this thing is only a couple of weeks old and has seen less than 24 hours of burn time.
Well I put it back together and fired it up one last time.

Again it took a while to go smoke free and even though I got the well shaped ram horns I never saw flames from the top of the riser and I could hold my hand less than 2 feet over the heat riser without getting uncomfortable.

My conclusion is even though it was neat to manipulate the flames into the shape I wanted it never did really perform well. Not only was it hard to get to light and come up to speed but I never got real clean burns, always had lots of ash left over and never saw flames shooting from the heat riser like my first single cyclone offset riser would do.

Sorry for the double post, for some reason my videos didn't post the first time and now I can't figure out how to delete the first one.
