Hey guys, did a simple MOD to the Klose, thought i'd share the Pron with my brothers and sisters here.
When i bought my Klose unit, i also got the log lighter, because it comes with regulator hose, LP bottle holder, and threaded hole in firebox.
I added about $15 worth of black pipe fittings, a quick connect, and a 100,000 BTU jet burner, that i can use to Pre-heat the pit, light the logs, light a chimney of charcoal, or boil a crawfish or crab pot.
what you get with log lighter, minus the tank i already had.
and this....
and this....
Here are the 1/2" NPT threaded holes they provide to stick 3/8" log burner pipe through. I left it caped, up till now.
Here is tank and regulator hose with new quick connect and a few other plumbing fittings added
Here is the new 10 nozzle jet burner
Added a few black pipe pieces and a union. Had to adjust so that ash pan can clear the bottom and grate clears the top, which took a few prototypes to arrive at that happy point, but finally got there.
Here it is in log-charcoal chimney starter/"add some instant heat"/crawfish/crab pot mode...
And here it is set up in pre-heat mode, with a 12"x12" 1/4" thick plate set on rack above to displace heat and not turn the top of my firebox red And yes, it heats this thing up FAST!
