COOKAMP cast iron propane burner head SH16-DIY — brass orifice, adjustable air shutter, 3.75"×8.75" DIY mounting

The COOKAMP SH16-DIY Cast Iron Propane Burner Head is a durable, DIY-ready burner assembly with a brass orifice and air shutter designed for propane-only cooking and outdoor projects.

Built for hobbyists, home chefs and custom equipment builders, this cast-iron burner head combines rugged construction with the parts needed to hook into a propane system. It ships with a brass fitting orifice block, adjustable air shutter, screw and spring so you can integrate it into custom stoves, wok burners, forge setups or portable cooking rigs. With a compact 3.75" diameter and 8.75" length, the unit balances high heat capability with a design meant for retrofit and modification.

How will this burner fit into my DIY project?

The SH16-DIY is purposely shaped and sized for easy mounting in custom builds or replacement installations. Its cast-iron body provides a stable base, while the included brass orifice block offers a secure gas connection point for a propane feed line.

• 3.75" diameter and 8.75" length for predictable fitment.
• Cast-iron construction for weight and heat retention.
• Brass fitting orifice block simplifies propane hose attachment.
• Air shutter lets you fine-tune combustion and flame shape.

What components come with the burner and what do they do?

The package includes the cast-iron burner head plus a brass fitting orifice block, an adjustable air shutter, and a screw and spring used to secure and adjust the shutter mechanism. These parts give you the immediate hardware to connect and tune the burner for propane.

• Brass orifice block: creates the calibrated gas inlet for propane.
• Air shutter: controls airflow to adjust flame intensity and stability.
• Screw and spring: fasten and tension the shutter for reliable adjustments.
• Cast-iron body: durable base that withstands repeated heating cycles.

Is this safe to use and what fuel does it accept?

The SH16-DIY is made specifically for propane use only. Because it is a raw burner component intended for DIY assembly, it should be installed with appropriate fittings, leak-tested, and used with proper ventilation and safety controls in place.

• Propane only — do not convert for other gases without expert modification.
• Requires correct hose, regulator and secure fittings for safe operation.
• Install in well-ventilated outdoor or appropriately vented installations.
• Leak-test connections with approved gas-detection methods before use.

How do I tune the flame and adjust heat output?

Tuning is done by adjusting the air shutter and selecting the correct orifice sizing for your propane pressure and desired flame. The included brass orifice provides a factory inlet; the air shutter modulates combustion air to sharpen or soften the flame profile.

• Open the air shutter for a hotter, leaner flame; close slightly for a fuller, yellow flame.
• Match regulator pressure and hose diameter to the orifice for stable output.
• Make incremental adjustments and observe flame behavior under load.
• Use the screw and spring to lock the shutter once tuned.

Who is this for: This COOKAMP cast-iron burner head suits DIYers, backyard chefs, mobile food operators, metalworkers and anyone building or repairing propane-fired equipment who needs a robust, serviceable burner component. It is ideal for projects where a compact, heavy-duty burner with tuneable airflow and a secure brass orifice is required — provided you follow all gas-safety practices and use propane only.
