I heat my oven with propane and it's 5' wide x 5-1/2' tall x 4' deep. I use 2 burners on the bottom each with their own thermostat. I don't know for sure how many BTU's it puts out but doubt it's as high as what you are hoping to acheive. I'd be a little wary of adding air to your gas mix because it may burn so hot that it'll destroy your burners. I can take some photos of what I have if you're interested. FWIW, I started with a $60.00 Ebay pizza oven and built up from there.

blindumpire the trick with not getting the burner over heated is to only put the holes in the very top. just like a match with your finger over the flame or put it under the flame. it really is'nt much of a issue.

I didn't realize that. I guess I was thinking that it would burn hotter due to increased air pressure, not just the addition of air. It didn't occur to me that the gas pressure is only a 1/2 lb. or so. I was picturing pressurized air for some reason. Glad you spoke up! I did take a picture of one of the burners in my commercial gas oven and the holes aren't directly on top, but canted in maybe 15* or so. This oven runs on propane now, but originally ran on natural gas.
