If @northwest is interested I pass Darwen every day on the way to work, I can grab it for him if needs beFor melting Brass, the temperatures are quite readily achievable with a pretty basic burner design: with Naturally Aspirated burners, it's probably fair to say that the tighter the temperature needs to be held, the tighter the manufacturing tolerances need to be.
Effectively, any of the proven online burner designs should work reasonably well for your application, so long as you don't make a complete Horlicks of building it.
Northwest, If it's instant gratification you want/need, I'm pretty sure I have both 1/2" and 3/4" Amal atmospheric injectors doing nothing at the moment beyond cluttering up my shed. I also have more than ample surplus 1" Ceramic Fibre blanket. If you'd like to do a trial and either return or replace the Amal injector once you've decided whether it's for you, I'm sure we can get the bits into your hands pretty quickly (I'm in Darwen).
I don't think you need a particularly good burner, but those based on the Amal injectors are, IMO/E, the best you'll find.
