Abstract
An automatic self-regulating burner system. A serpentine pipe structure connected to a source of fuel has a preheating portion, an orifice pipe portion and a backpressure pipe portion. The orifice pipe portion has an orifice therethrough which exhausts vaporized fuel. The exhausted fuel vapor is burned to heat both the preheater pipe portion for vaporizing and preheating the fuel, and the backpressure pipe portion for generating an internal pressure which automatically regulates the quantity of fuel vapors which are exhausted from the orifice.
