How does the two tier work? i get the sparge part but how do you control the slow outlet of the mash into the boil? pump? i have a pump but it dosen't run that slowly???

If it's a March pump, you throttle the pump with a ball valve on the outlet. With a 2-tier, you can either have the kettle down low, gravity drain to it and use the pump to xfer the sparge water. Or, you can have the mash down low, use gravity to move the sparge water and the pump to xfer the wort up into the kettle. I can see benefits of either setup.

So has anyone purchased the dual burner cooker from Academy? Is it worth getting? I'm thinking about getting one, but the lack of BTU information isn't really helping convince me.

Don't suppose anyone has seen or used this? It is about $265 shipped. I don't live in TX, so the $119 Academy one is out for me.

It is low pressure - not sure exactly what that means. There is not a lot of info but it looks like banjo burners from the pic.

Low pressure usually means less BTUs, but some special ones make a lot of BTUs.
Really it means how much gas can come off the propane tank at a time.
Compare the high and low pressure ones here:
