17. rner The sparks are actually these minute pieces of metal burning off in the flame This should subside after short period of use Why do I hear a popping sound when I shut off my CC Burner e The popping sound is most likely caused by the slow escapement of gases that are leaving the burner after you have shut it off This is not dangerous to the user or the burner but can be quite startling to those who hear it To avoid this sound when shutting down turn off the oxygen first and then allow two to three seconds before turning off the gas Do you recommend running the burner with acetylene e We do not recommend using the CC Burner with any fuel gases other than Natural Gas Propane or Hydrogen with a CC H burner only The CC Burner spit out something onto what I was working on Why did this happen and how can prevent it e If something spits out of the burner it is most likely carbon that has built up on the inside of the torch see Heat Build up and Carbon Build up If tt does not appear to be carbon it is suggested that you look into dirt or particulate in the lines Other than carbon there is nothing inside of the CC Burner that would come out of the burner in that way Therefore this is usually found to be a problem upstream of the CC Burner Why are some of the candles from the outerfire longer than others e There are several situations that can cause the flames of the outerfire to vary from one another in small wa
