Has anyone attempted to connect two or more of these units together? I would like to create a windscreen for an outdoor paella burner.

I don't know if you'd need or necessarily want to fasten two windscreens together although I suppose you could. Frequently when I use my windscreen I leave it open on the side away from the prevailing wind which makes it easier for me to handle my pots. I'd think you could do the same thing or you could simply use two in tandem but not affixed to each other.

I found this YouTube video showing how they work, once installed. Looks cool! I'm totally getting some of these things. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYz0jnla_QI

You can put two of these together using a M-M coupling. I'd suggest waiting till you have the hose in hand and take it to the hardware store to get the right flared coupling.

It works great for me...one push one spark or bunch of sparks, you have to push each time you want it to start, the first burner starts with a push and the rest of the burners start automatically from each other

The built-in "windscreen" is very minimal. High wind can definitely be an issue, both in terms of blowing out the flame and for drastically decreasing efficiency.I made a simple windscreen out of a piece of sheet metal formed into a cylinder and held together with heavy staples. I cut out a hole for the gas inlet, a small hole that I can stick a long lighter through, as well as about 10 small triangular holes around the bottom perimeter for proper airflow. If I do a boil at the beach or a very windy day I pull out my windscreen. I've owned this burner for 8 years.

This unit has the burners too close together. You have to use small pans. It does boil water and the secondary burner runs a little hot. I have used this for 4 months and would not purchase it again. I would look for burners that were a little further apart.

NO trick - I had the exact same problem. After I worked with them for a while, I gave up and sent them back to Amazon for a refund...then bought the exact same ventshades but with the external attachment. They were simple to install, look great and work perfectly!

I just built a similar thing. Susan, did you ever find something appropriate? If you found a solution can you let me know at mkordick@gmail.com

I wouldn't for two reasons; 1) they would be very unstable with the weight of that many jars and, 2) the unit won't be able to maintain the heat needed for an additional layer. The second layer is hard enough for it to maintain. Two layers do work but they require more time and you'll notice when you take the top off one layer is significantly cooler then the other.

Yes, I have used mine for that purpose. Just watch that the wind does not blow out the flame so keep an eye on it. I put a metal wind screen against mine if it's a little breezy . It will simmer !

I have a window that does the same thing. I think there is a rebuild kit for the window regulator, but I can't remember what web site I found it in. I'll try to find it again and if I do I'll let you know

I used to only have 2 so I put 2 in at the same time. I just ordered another 2 so I will be doing 4 on the next batch. I plan to rotate them half way thru as the top usually get more heat.

Sorry for the very late response... yes they DO connect together. The only issue will be that these will be the only units that can alert you of CO. If a fire occurs, they all will sound.

The two ends of the hose will screw together. I only own one, so I have not tried connecting two different hoses. It appears that they can be connected together, but I cannot test if there is a loss of pressure due to the distance, or if there is a safety issue with a connection in the middle of the hoses.

I have one, but have not been able to get it to work. I have contacted the company and no response. Just make sure you vent it to the outside.

Very unlikely. These ondemand heaters are location and flow specific. In some cases they even have to be "tuned" to the flow conditions of the particular user point. If the the user points were very close together, say back to back then maybe but problems may likely arise if both user points were in use simultaneously.Contact the Stiebel tech support for help with your particular needs.

you should be able to use three. two panels on two connectors and then connect those connectors to a third one. Much like the branches of a tree.
