BETHLEHEM "THE STACKS" BENCH BURNER
The STACKS bench burner was designed specifically to fill the gap between the Alpha burner and the Bravo burner. The STACKS torch includes: the Top Mount "Sharp Flame" surface mix burner, the Bottom Mount "Bravo" - sized surface mix burner, the unique and adjustable STACKS base, the Bethlehem Burners torch cleaning kit, and the Bethlehem Burners "Lifetime Factory Warranty."
Versatility is what will make the STACKS bench burner a must have for all glass artists. This burner will offer a wide range of fuel mixtures, flame temperatures, and flame sizes, as well as purchasing options never before offered by Bethlehem. The Top Mount and Bottom Mount are secured to the base with setscrews. This means the Top Mount and Bottom Mount can be purchased separately, thus giving flame workers the option to purchase the STACKS in stages.

Each burner is constructed primarily of stainless steel and is equipped with Bethlehem's one-of-a-kind, stainless steel modular needles valves. Each burner comes with its own B-Fitting gas and oxygen hose connections, making each burner a complete and separate torch unto itself.
The Top Mount (STACKS I) is similar to the Alpha torch but produces a sharper flame almost identical to the centre fire flame of Bethlehem's famous PM2D Bench Burner. This "Sharp Flame" has a longer centre gas candle, which attracts the outer gas jets and oxygen in towards itself. The longer centre candle creates a sharper and slightly more driving flame excellent for fine detail work and fuming.
The Bottom Mount (STACKS II) produces the same flame width and BTU output as the outer fire ring of the Bravo. Unlike the Bravo torch, the STACKS II doesn't have a centre fire. Without a centre fire, the STACKS II cannot reproduce the drive or heat range of the Bravo flame but it vastly outperforms any other torch in its size and price range when it comes to heat potential, fuel mixture range, and efficiency. This torch is perfect for medium hollow work, stress-free handling of sensitive colours, mid-sized (2" - 2.25") solid marbles and gentle, even heating for pulling points.
STACKS I - 8 LPM O2, 8 PSI
STACKS II - 20 LPM O2, 8 PSI
