They place a cap, a burner plate with two rings of holes for blue flamelets, over the reactor and only introduce secondary air above the cap. The cap effectively seals the reactor chamber, preventing any secondary air from entering. This creates something of a hybrid between a TLUD and a Retort: a TLUD with a a bit of Retort flavor.</div><div><br></div><div>I do the much the same, but do not use the 80 holes in their design for the burner plate. My solid burner plate is sized to allow for a gap between the wall of the reactor chamber and the edge of the plate. Thus the gases emerge from the reactor via this gap at the edge. They can thus only meet secondary air above the gap. Secondary air is thus prevented from entering the pyrolysis chamber - as per Bolinio and Olivier.</div><div><br></div><div><img height="480" width="480" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" id="3a2a2281-5337-4708-b6d6-75d19a76f416" src="cid:04846CA4-3BD8-4012-8057-A060DFB8374E"></div><div>Bottom view of primary air system - now 5/64 of an inch holes.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><img height="480" width="480" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" id="f7bce7b4-70ab-41af-b3a4-b6f68abe29d7" src="cid:87AE5357-1D01-4EE9-A35D-63D12E919CF0"></div><div><br></div><div>Top view showing the support brackets. </div><div>I no longer use the washers and now rotate the brackets slightly to form fingers to support the burner plate.</div><div><br></div><div>This reactor can is the only part of the Rim Fire iCan that should be made of high temperature stainless.</div><div><br></div><div><img height="480" width="480" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" id="46bb8929-aebc-4217-8949-6ac4407a1d26" src="cid:32DBDFA9-391D-47E7-A7CF-B9501167DE71"></div><div><br></div><div>Burner plate in place.
