I found this burner at http://store.homebrewheaven.com/shared/StoreFront/product_detail.asp?RowID=1480&ShowQuestions=True&C S=hombre#Questions for this price.

The burner name matches the one at home depot for about the same price but the home depot one states it has 60k btu. Is there any truth to the link I posted? Granted the burner at the link has a wind shield and is circular vs square, but for 185k btu at the same price as the 60k?

The square one is the SQ14, while the round one is the SP10. They use a different style burner, with different pressure regulators. The SP10 is nice, but isn't as efficient on propane, and the round surface doesn't fit a keggle without something else holding it (like a grill grate).

Thats the model SP10,
I bought one at a garage sale and the manual that came with it says 185,000 btu`s

I modified mine with 4 pieces of bedframe steel 16in. long
to hole the keggle. I also raised the burner 2in.

it`ll do till i get my stand built.

I dont plan on (as far as I can see) brewing from a keggle. I am just going to keep brewing wort from a 7 gal stainless pot and keg them to cornies. So im assuming that I will be fine if I dont plan on using a keggle? Fiance wants me to move my brewing to the garage since we just bought our first house.

That looks like the SP10, compared to the SQ14 sold at Home Depot. Bayou Classic's site:

Doesn't list BTU's for either (strange), but the SP10 is a little cheaper on their site.

Edit: Whoops, too slow to respond. Maybe the link will help though.
