1186 forum posts 11 photos	Is the white part not an insulator or thermal break so the heat does not transfer down the tube supplying the gas? I was under the impression that in a properly functioning burner, the flame does not touch the orifice from which it emerges, so the heat transfer to the aluminium part is through the surrounding atmosphere. In that respect the aluminium is a good choice as its thermal mass, high surface area and good conductivity will keep it cool. Short of copper (not easily found in box section), what would be better?
