Hello all!
Hope life is treating you good!
So, I did my first 10 gallon AG this past weekend. I had been doing 5 gallon AG batches and the 7 gallon kettle was just getting too small!
So, I finished my Keggle and got my equipment updated to do bigger batches.
All that went well.
However, my propane burner is woefully inadequate. It appears to be the standard turkey cooker burner. Nothing fancy, probably less than 100K BTU's. It took forever to heat up water and the wort. Way too long.
So, I need to look for a better burner.
What are some brands and BTU's that you guys are using?
Any issues or 'stay away from that one', that I should be aware off?
I see that the King Kooker is around 110K BTU's.
Any others?
I have found one on Ebay that puts out 185K BTU's. Now that is a jet engine!
It is the Bayou Classic SP10 for under $60 + Shipping.
Was wondering if anyone had tried that one?
I might give that a try. I've found some larger propane tanks on Craigslist. Then I'll be in business!
Have a good one...
