Holy crap ! What a bummer...that's why one should never use a propane brewing rig inside. **** can happens
This was not inside, thank god.

Seems like an E-Stop that shuts everything immediately off is a good feature to add.
And harder gas plumbing - those crimped flex lines clearly are a liability...

Blichmann says to only use their regulator with their floor burners.
I have one of the B burners and love it. BUT, look at the photos shown above.. GEEZ.. look at the bend in that hose. I don't know and am not pointing fingers at any of the failures.. but, they are NOT meant to be tightly bent that way.. there is no strain relief on those hoses..
That aside, as John mentioned.. stuff happens.. that's why there is a warranty on most things.

I have a relatively new burner. I've had problems with these "blowbacks" too. I think mine may have been due to not having a tight connection between the propane hose and the connector on the burner. I'm waiting to hear back from Blichmann to see if that sounds reasonable... seems reasonable.
I have the same burner. Occasionally, wind will blow the flame back into the gas intake area. For this reason, I do not walk away from the burner when it is on.
