NOTE: The Target Pilot burner energizes the thermocouple and BASO™ valve, then ignites the main flame front. It is not intended as a preheat burner and can be adversely affected by windy conditions or excessive back-pressure. If any of these conditions are a concern, we strongly recommend the use of the optional Piggyback Venturi burner listed below.

The MR750 is an affordable and compact Venturi burner suitable for high fire kilns, furnaces, or Raku kilns It features flame retention within a one piece design. It is rated at 72,000 BTUs operating on propane @ 11" WC. Natural gas @ 7" WC produces 68,000 BTUs. The MR100 is slightly larger than the MR750. It produces 94,000 BTUs on propane and 89,000 BTUs with natural gas. Be aware that these BTU figures are based on set orifice sizes provided by the manufacturer. We calculate and drill our own orifices. Other sellers of these burners are usually not able to advise on or provide you with proper orifice sizes. If you are using high pressure propane(1 PSI or above), which is a popular choice in Raku kilns, you will need a nonstandard orifice.
