We're wanting to switch our our stock Huky natural gas infrared nozzles with conventional atmospheric nozzles. Just wondering if this one might work ... and if not, does anyone have a link to a version that would fit the stock burner housing?

This is an excellent idea; and my other machine is set up like that. It has four atmospheric burners screwed into a square bar; then connected the rest of the way with iron pipe. It's even height adjustable.
Santoker uses two burners, so I'm sure that would be sufficient. This could all be done without welding, although that would simplify the process. Using round pipe with caps for the burner bar, drilling/tapping the holes, building brackets, building a frame, needle valve and pressure gauge.
The trickiest part is finding or drilling out the orifaces to the correct size. I believe they number drills for this process.

Hmmm ... we were hoping for something even simpler than that. Is there another natural gas burner out there very close in size to the stock infrared burner?

That chinese cooking burner is very very powerful and intended to produce a red hot spot on a wok in seconds. Besides the burner you will still need a good needle valve etc for fine-tuning in all the time segments of the roast. If you look at similar roasters, like the North TJ-066, you can see what kind of size you need for your project.
BTW, why do you want to replace the IR burner?
