Why I'm going to even answer is beond me, after this last row, but WTF. Jim,
two things come to mind. 1) venturi mixing. 2) flame arestors (like the miniture versions one puts on an Oxy/Acetelene torch). Venturi Mix is simple, the flame front speed can NOT pass the venturi. Arestors are a bit more complex. Greg On Mon, May 16, 2011 at 11:55 AM, David G.
