Would you trust JB weld on this?

Thats a propane burner

My first concern would be heat. How hot does that end get?

Second concern is having a good bond on that surface. If you can clamp it good I think its rough enough to get a good mechanical bond.


why not just replace it? burners can be cheap ~$10 (unless you have a bad ass one that isnt common) If it fails and your not around to notice what are the consequences?

ya... all my same thoughts.
 
Worth a try, I would build it up and out both ways from the break. Ensure plenty of support. sand & clean with brake cleaner as a prep.
 
Could be something for a spot on an episode of AFV or if it goes really bad there are always the Darwin awards o_O

When they're this cheap, why bother?

I'll one up you. Bought it through Ebay, contacted Seller, He made a claim to UPS for damages to shipment, I got a refund, seller said thanks just throw the broken one away. So, I got my money back and I can order another. Just wondered if I could fix it. hate throwing away something if I can "fix" it. but I also don't want BLOW THE FAWK UP using it! :kaioken:
 
Is it cast iron or cast steel?

Either way there is a chance that you could weld it up and it would be ok. or you could weld on supports to take the weight off the jb weld joint.
 
Probably won't blow up. Worst case, you'll wind up with a flame where you don't want it. I've had hoses crack and fittings leak using cheap burners. Turn off the gas and the problem disappears! ;-) Fix it and build a bracket that supports the burner on both sides of the repair and I bet it'll be fine for years. They generally don't get hot there.
 
Ive got one from the side burner off my old grill....I tried using it for something similar to what you are doing, but couldnt regulate the heat well enough so I went electric. It's SS and probably has plenty of life left in it. I dont know what the BTU's are but pay for shipping and you can have it if you're interested.

Interested. I'll PM you
 
Let me thrown another idea out there.
Using a drill bit bore it out a tad and insert a copper inner sleeve to flow through.
Solder/JB weld around the copper perimeter.
