Is this some kind of gas burner?

Propane maybe? A small space heater of some kind?
It's made of cast iron and about 4" in diameter.
It came from a farm in Nebraska.
It has some sort of a baffle inside
that seems to move freely up and down.
What's the deal here?
What kind of a deal is this?

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Will open it up tomorrow.
I expect the screw to break,
but can d&t for a new one.
but I think I regognize the valve as being rated for gas service.
Also, it's made of cast iron so I wouldn't suppose
it would be used for anything water related.
Possible, but you'd need a thousand of 'em.
Yep. I've seen some fields with hundreds, if not thousands. They were hooked up to hoses feeding diesel or fuel oil (I think). Trying to save the orange crops.

because there's no soot anywhere on it.
That's why I mentioned propane.
Old faded John Deere green........maybe a J.Deere tractor fuel line part of some kind ???? J. Deere made well hand pumps too, I have one [;)] and many other items.
I could almost buy that idea if it didn't
have four little "feet" cast into it.
I think it was made to sit on a flat surface.

Yes Sir, that has me puzzled too, I'm still thinking a J.Deere product due to the faded green paint on the bottom.

I thought it might be an aerator or water separater,
but I think I regognize the valve as being rated for gas service.

Then why do we sale cast parts for Irrigation. Look at Fresno Valve and CASTING http://www.fresnovalves.com/
I don't think it would use diesel -- when cold diesel really doesn't want to catch fire. You have to use some gas to get it started, and gas at below freezing temps isn't real anxious to burn either[;)]
I go for propane/natural gas burner due to the valve/fixture.
If there's a screen in the middle it would act as a flame barrier keeping the flames inside like the screen you see on propane heaters these days.

Go out on a Limb and say a Stock tank heater.
Agree, bottom holes are for air intake, top holes for heat....item rattling around inside is the burner....made/sold to farmers by J.D [:)]

I think I have it. It looks a lot like a chicken coop heater. You lift off the dome, light the internal burner, put the dome back on. Keeps your chickens alive during frosty nights.
One of the guys at work suggested that too.
Best explanation I've heard so far.
Does it have holes and feet for a lead pot on the other side?
Now I see the other pic.
No doubt some sort of gas heater...
I think it's up side down in the pic.

Scroll back up. There are two pics. One top, one bottom. The bottom has feet.
