Need to build a stand for a Ward Systems MR750 burner

[kriggins]

I have a new Ward Systems MR750 with the Rambone pilot that I need to build a stand for. It will be used to fire my small electric -> gas conversion kiln. Anybody have any pictures  of something they have done or seen so I can get some ideas?

Don’t have any pictures but I generally weld a bracket in place or make a tripod stand to the right height, cut a small piece of angle, face it upward as a V notch ......... and mount the burner to it securely using  two stainless steel pipe clamps.  The burner sits in the V notch of the angle. . It may require a shim or two (steel) as the burners generally taper along their length. I like them to be sturdy, stable and easily removable and use two clamps along several inches of angle as a support. The shims also allow me to level the burner or pitch it ever so slightly to hit my target as needed. Done a bunch of these but no pictures.

You can also use stainless pipe clamps to attcach to metal stand.

Will it be coming in from underneath or on the side?

It will be coming in from the side.

If you can weld, just use some angle iron to build the stand. If you can't weld, you can build a stand with regular black pipe fittings. Either way the burner can be clamped to it with hose clamps. Whatever you do, figure out a way to secure it to the kiln so it can't be moved out of position while firing. Maybe bolt it to the kiln stand.
