I have a 210k and from my experience it's a real PITA to try to maintain temp with it.
Bringing 12 or 13 gallons to a boil takes some time regardless of the burner that you're using. I've done a few 10 gallon batches (13+ gallons preboil) and it seems like it takes forever to get it boiling. I can't imagine trying to do it with anything smaller, but I know that others here have done so.

i wanted to use a LOVE control to run the burners and i though the smaller the better so the burner isn't cycling on and off all the time. but a don't to go to small and have it take for ever to heat up. I noticed on the brutus 10 he used the smaller burner and commented on a slow temp rise, whey spend all that money and have a slow rig?

Ahhh... Yes. Slow! You see to me it is a brew day... Not a brew hour my friend!
You know sometimes money just buys you time!  |

I'd strongly recommend the 92KBTU burner. You can always throttle the larger burner's propane supply upstream of the controller.
