    Chris, I can probably get you a burner... if can you afford the fuel for it. I checked with some people that work with the burners (I just design the structural steel that holds shit up) and they say for a larger furnace each burner (5-7 per side) burns 35,000 cubic feet per hour of natural gas (sometimes fuel oil) with an output of 4 to 5 million BTU.
    Boost the economy, buy more glass!!!
