Bunsen burner on liquefied petroleum gas?
READ THE DIRECTIONS as doing it improperly can result in a very hazardous situation. You will most likely need an expansion chamber (I'm not sure what the actual name is) but it's to allow only gas to get to the bunsen burner. You should have an adjustment knob or the bottom sleeve with the two side holes allowing air to mix on the bunsen burner to adjust the air-fuel mixture. If you've never used a bunsen burner then download the directions from the manufacturer. AND remember don't heat volatile and flammable chemicals with it. Plenty of explosions have happened when people have tried to use them for drug production. And don't use any cleaning products on instruments except noted by the manufacturer because you could wake up in the hospital, that's if someone finds you. Some cleaning compounds release deadly compounds when heated. So make sure you understand chemistry and are only performing safe and legal experiments.
