Like the engine and the brakes in your car, a balloon’s burner gives you the power to ascend as well as the ability to slow down a descent.
In addition to sheer power output, other desirable features should
include: reliability and redundancy of features; the ability to operate over a wide range of fuel pressures; burning quietly and cleanly with a minimal amount of condensation and radiant heat; the ability to gimble over a wide range and control the tension easily; assemble easily without the use of tools; ease of maintenance to reduce costs at annual inspections. Additionally, the range of Lindstrand JetStream burners are beautiful to behold.
