BTW.... great welding skills, it looks great.
Another note: In your final test picture, I see what looks to be about a 3/4 inch distance between the bottom of the pot and the burner frame. I guess trial and error is really to only way to determine what this distance should be. Yours seems to work good.
I have a "home" made burner, and it did not have a large enough "gap" to allow proper space for the gasses to escape under the pot. I have to place 1/4" thick flat bar to raise the pot a little for the burner to work correctly.
I let family members use this burner one time, and they did not put the 1/4" flat bar on the top of the burner causing the flame to be "choked" off and it would not heat the water. They used a different burner to cook that day. I found about this later.
Another note: I see the BTU rating on this burner is much different on Amazon vs one of the suppliers on one of your links. I wonder which rating is more accurate?

Lol, I actually had this typed up in the last reply but deleted it. The TejasSmokers version has the angle open to the top. Once I built the square I thought it looked a lot better flush. But I hadn’t considered the air gap between the pot. The gap is right at 3/4”-7/8”, but I think it may be a little too wide.

Yes, I noticed this as well, along with the absent spacing recommendation. After reading through the Amazon listing, I found the orifice size for the NG jets. Based on my [minimum] gas pressure, I calculated a similar rating as the other burners of ~10k per jet. That’s where the potential BTU rating of 260k came from.
