ENAMELLED CAST IRON

Cast-iron gas burner with a 40 × 40 cm square pan support on four legs, rated at 6.5 kW, for butane or propane at 30 mbar and outdoor use only.

Same flame as the tripod burner; what changes is the base. It is designed to carry a large wax melter or wax boiler, which weighs a good deal more than it looks once the water and frames are inside.

01 · THE BASE

Four feet for a heavy load

A 115-litre steam wax melter measures Ø 525 mm and weighs 20 kg empty; with about 20 litres of water in the double bottom and a load of frames, it goes over 40 kg.

Here that base sits on a 40 × 40 cm cast-iron frame, with a leg at each corner and 6 kg of burner underneath. Four legs need level ground: if it rocks empty, it will rock full. The manufacturer does not state a maximum load, so check before filling that the vessel sits flat and centred.

02 · THE FLAME

Same heat as the tripod, not faster

The burner is cast iron, delivers 6.5 kW and uses 450 g/h of butane according to the manufacturer. The flame is set with the valve and the air/gas regulator. By our own estimate, a 12.5 kg cylinder lasts about 27 hours at full flame. If what you want is for the water in the double bottom to boil sooner, the base won't do it: that is what the 9.3 kW double-ring burner is for.

03 · WAX WORK

Under the water, never under the wax

It belongs under a steam wax melter or a bain-marie boiler. Beeswax melts at 61–65 °C and, as long as there is water in the double bottom, the whole unit stays at or below 100 °C. The burner has no thermostat or probe: you are the control, watching the water level and turning the flame down once the load has melted. And melting is not sterilising: steam at atmospheric pressure does not kill American foulbrood spores.

⚠ PRECAUTIONS

Outdoors only, on a firm, level surface and away from flammable materials. Do not move it while lit or leave it unattended. The instructions do not describe an automatic gas cut-off if the flame goes out, so treat it as a manual burner. When you finish, close the burner valve and the cylinder valve.

04 · BEFORE YOU BUY

It arrives unassembled: the legs, the burner and its bracket fix to the grid with M6 screws. It comes with an anti-corrosion coating that gives off soot at first, so run it empty for a few minutes before putting anything on it. The coating wears off with use and the cast iron may rust; store it dry.

✓ FITS	Flat-bottomed wax melters and boilers that need a separate heat source and work in a yard, an open shed or the field.
✕ DOESN'T FIT	Working in an enclosed honey house, or wanting more power than the tripod.
⚠ NOT INCLUDED	Gas cylinder, 30 mbar regulator, hose or hose clamp.
