Hello all, its been awhile since I've last posted. It looks like the site has grown a bit since I was last here, good to see!
At any rate, I'm thinking about replacing some aging equipment. I have a 10 gallon aluminum brewpot that I was thinking about replacing with a 10 gallon stainless steel pot and my bayou burner (I believe its an SP-10) is looking a little rough at approx 6-7 years old. I've been happy with the burner but am wondering if I get a stainless pot with a bigger diameter would the SQ-12 be better? Its lower btu's but from what I can tell that may not be a big deal. Of course I live in North Dakota so the garage brewing in January may mean higher btu's are needed?
Also, does anyone have any thoughts on the ho-hum turkey fryers you can buy in places like Bass Pro shops or Cabela's. I know there is a 45k btu avaialble but I was thinking its too much money for an under powered piece of equipment.
any input is appreciated, thanks!
