The Carlisle CC Burner is known as a cannon style burner . Its large outer case and tremendous flame output resembles the profile of a "cannon". This burner may be used with a mixture of oxygen and either natural gas, propane, or hydrogen (different tips are suggested depending on the gas used).

This burner produces two distinctive flames, the centerfire (pre-mixed) and the outer fire  (surface mixed). The centerfire, which has characteristics of a single ported tip, produces a flame similar to what may be achieved with a Carlisle hand torch.

The #5 tip has the largest orifice of the piloted centerfire tips, this produces more BTU's than the smaller #3 tip.

The Ball and Post base utilizes a crescent shaped solid steel base with a ball and socket connection. The post that extends upward is threaded directly into the bottom of the CC body. This style offers a selective articulation. In order to adjust the angle of the head, the user releases a thumb screw at the base of the post. When re-tightened, this provides positive burner positioning.
