Do I need a flame tamer / difuser with this?

In my opinion I would say no. The grill that this unit comes with already has a diffuser built into it at the location of each burner. The grill still had a couple hot spots, but I think it's about as good as it's going to get. As for just using it with pots / percolators / etc. I've used it pretty extensively and have not needed a diffuser. The flame ring can be a little wide for small pots or a small perc, so in that case it might be something you want to consider. Hope that helps.

this is not a professional burner but you can get the wok hei with it. The flame is powerful and delivers high heat instantaneously but won't reach the edge of the wok in a horizontal position. to get the flame in you need to tilt the wok while flipping the food inside

Yes. If you add a needle valve the flame can be dampened down to next to nothing. I use this when recirculating my mash.

Yes, grandpa did it. Propane torch would be easier. A stainless steel bowl is what I use. on a hotplate.The furnace for lead is MUCH safer. One burn (automatically 3rd degree) is more than it's cost.

There is no igniter. A $3 lighter is perfect. Wok Ring? Not really. This unit puts out some BTU's, a wok ring would keep it up from the flames. The three sides come right off. You should not need to take them off as the burner area is large. Hope this helps.

Hello! Both of the ones I purchased came with butane in them. You can adjust the output of the flame with a little thing on the bottom. Hope this helps!

On the bottom of the pot it states "not for stovetop use" so I wouldn't think a heating element with a diffuser would be good either.

Yes, use a protector to diffuse the flame from the bottom part of the pot. I have done and used many times for many other beverages. Use a low or medium flame.

It depends on whether you're using a 20 lb propane tank like you would with a gas grill or if it's being connected to a large tank that would supply your house. In both cases an air mixer is required for propane use, and then standard fittings should be connected with a shut off valve to control the burner.

No match necessary. You fill it with fluid then press the red button on the back to ignite it. There is a slide on the side to adjust the flames too

Yes, it doesn't require high heat, but you should use extreme cautious due to the mixture of led depending what you are melting

I used same tank as for a bbq and you can get about 2 feet of flame through the fireglass if you crank the valve open all the way. I installed a fireplace valve between the tank and the tray though.

I've done both and it works fine. Just make sure if you put them around the burner they don't impede the flame or gas flow. This can cause hot or cold spots and/or difficult lighting.

You will need regulators to use this torch. There is a kit available for small tanks. This is more expensive to use but practical for limited use.

I suggest going to a welding supply company as there are different configurations depending on what kind of gas you want to use. BTW I used these torches for 30 years before retiring. Best one available for fine work.

If you mean a grate for the wood, you don't really need one. I've had many fires in mine without one.

You don't need the cooler, Just have to weld shorter duration's. If doing long duration's, Then wise to have. Torch will get hot.

No, it doesn have the adapter to make that work. I wouldn't do it, just buy some butane
