Overview

Adjusting the flame length and the flame temperature separately is what sets this Humboldt Tirrill burner apart. It uses threaded aluminum air control sleeves and precision brass needle valves with self-sealing packings.

The reason to buy is the independent control of flame height and temperature, with a noiseless clear flame. The limitation is that it is a natural gas burner only, and the listing gives dimensions in inches and millimeters that need checking against your bench.

Who it's for

Labs and teaching benches on natural gas that want finer flame control than a basic burner. Propane users need a different model, and buyers who want simplicity may not need two controls.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Separate temperature and length control
  • Noiseless clear flame
  • Brass needle valve
  • Rustproof plated die-cast base
Cons
  • Natural gas only
  • Two controls to learn
  • Weight is for the package
  • Hose not listed

Performance notes

The needle valve meters the gas and the air sleeve meters the air, so each setting changes a different part of the flame. The result is a flame of any chosen height, from low to tall, with temperature set separately.
