I wonder if purchasing IFB insulating Fire Brick and drilling holes through them would work? Then strapping it onto the burner housing. What do you think?
I liked the way you made you're burner negative mold then fitted the positive mould over top. When pouring the refractory would it be easier to use a piping method (pastry cooking technique - fill plastic bag with wet cement mix then cut off corner and pipe mixture around burner nozzles)? Or is the mixture too thick?
Thanx for your reaction. I am not familiar with the pastry cooking technique, but I try to keep the mixture as thick as possible. I have been taught that this gives the strongest concrete.I understand what you mean. Like you spray cream on a cake. I think that can work well.
Its all about the joy one experiences when designing, building and using something they created. Who cares if there are so-called unnecessary steps, its a beautiful, well crafted tool, and in my mind that's what counts, thereby eliminating all notions of unnecessary steps ;)

It will work but may not get the airtight seal as it would from a curing wet cement..
Each crevices of the burner housing would be sealed

Wow....so much unnecessary work to create a simple ribbon burner.
