This is a small, naturally aspirated propane burner that I just finished. It runs like a top on 10 p.s.i., and can probably handle more. It combines features from a number of other designs. The best thing about it is that it requires no drilling or tapping at all. In fact it could be made entirely without power tools.

More to follow, once I've had a chance to test this theory.
