bbq: Would 1000 degrees C be achievable? If not is there a way to adapt a bbq to achieve that temperature? At that temperature how much propane would be needed per hour? Thank in advance.|||Well, if you go above about 1370C you'll melt your BBQ (assuming it's made out of steel). Unfortunately you'll never hit that with pure propane. The best I've seen is about 1135C, produced by Flame Engineering, Inc.'s VT 3-30C Red Dragon Vapor Torch Kit. This operates on 10 lbs propane per hour, but it's a torch, not a BBQ. I think 1000C would be possible, but you'd have to work on the oxygen supply. If you set up a high propane flow coupled with a pure oxygen supply stream you just might be able to do it. Of course, the most likely result will be that you blow yourself up. But a mechanical fan to provide turbulent flow, and a high pressure high flow oxygen/propane feed, just might allow you to make your BBQ glow red. Another thing I just thought of is insulation to minimize heat loss to the atmosphere. Be sure to insulate that puppy.
