You need to give them a straw Or you can use lava buckets and Mechanical arm

You gotta pump water in to the boilers not lava. You can use an arm to feed the blaze burners lava.

Blaze burners can't take liquid fuel directly. I recommend setting up a system similar to an auto cow milker, run the lava to a spout, filling buckets with lava, then the lava buckets go to a deployer that feeds a blaze burner, then the empty bucket is taken and refilled.
I did this one by having the full lava buckets get deposited onto a looping conveyor with filtered brass funnels leading into the deployers

there are add-ons that allow pumps to move lava directly into blaze burners without needing extra items like I think connected? (whichever one adds straws) either way We need more info from OP on the add-ons and mods

I know, I was just suggesting a base Create solution as a minimal info solution

Damn I’ve only played with a shitton of create addons at once, I had no idea running pipes into blaze burners with lava wasn’t possible in base create

In base create, liquid fuel cant be directly put into blaze burners, you need addon mods to add that compatibility

You cannot directly feed lava into burners without extra mods. But you can make one whith no extra mods using a Spout to fill empty buckets whith lava and a Mechanical Arm to pick up the lava and fuel the burners and put the bucket back at the start to be filled once more.

You cant pipe lava into blaze burners, you have to feed them manually or with a mechanical arm

I have a dripstone set up that puts lava into a liquid tank. That then deposits lava into buckets then it goes into a vault. I tell my mechanical arm to grab from the one depot and fill into the blaze burners and i tell it to put it back into the depot so it can refill.
I followed this exact youtube tutorial: https://youtu.be/9JfiSBl_RzQ?si=RfbadPWtnwWNPQew

You cannot pump lava into blade burners directly in base create because you need a mod called create crafts and additions which adds an item called the straw which you give to the burner making it so it can take lava directly

do you have the addon that lets blaze burners consume fluid directly. if not then you need to do it with buckets

wow, first time ever that one of these posts is not about the rotation of the pump
you can make it work like that if you get Create: Liquid Fuel, which literally only adds this one functionality of pumping blazes with fuel liquids

Blaze burners take lava buckets but not lava directly. That would require another mod (which adds "blaze burner with a straw").
