Kits mean you lose the "I dood it" factor. Big Glen Murphy and I could have bought a cannon, but we made one instead, and fired it every 4th of July. Big Glen even built a shot tower out of an old windmill. It was a real bugger hauling the molten lead crucible to the top...
See, we could have bought M-80's and Cherry Bombs instead...

It sounds like he doesn't & I don't want to see him on the evening news or worse yet, as a darwin award nominee. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Exhaust systems are pretty robust; I'm going to guess he'll be "relatively" safe.
Cherry bombs and M-80's aren't as fun as Silver Salutes, to me. (That's basically an M-80 with a rocket to get it to the desired place in the sky or wherever before it blows).

Those kits don't have any propane injection. Just a $15 coil, $5 relay, $5 switch, and $10 of wires. For $89.99.

Perhaps but perhaps by using that kit you'd have flames already... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Just sayin. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Uhh, not seeing how that would be so? I already have spark and gas, I just need to figure out air. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Approach it from the other direction. Make a way to adjust the propane to the available air quantity, say with some kind of metering valve, with a fine adjustment capability. Easier than making different size holes in the pipe to ingest varying amounts of air.
I might try some way of dropping the pressure in the exh pipe, like an increase in pipe diameter, with the air intake holes just downstream from the change point. Tapered might be better than a sudden transition, but I'm guessing.
