Default The power of 210,000 BTUs

Got my new Banjo Cooker today and YouTube finally has it processed.

This thing rocks! Can't wait to try it tomorrow on a Hefe.

It should reduce your boil time to 10 minutes with a flame like that...

It gets 10 gallons to mash temps in about 30-40 minutes for me from 50 degree water.

Turn that burner upside down, crank that 30 psi hose up and you'll be going to the moon with that bad boy!
Bigger is better.

I really like how nice the flame is at the low setting. My burners don't do so well when you turn them way down. They want to flame out, even if when you close off the air intake as much as possible. I may have to upgrade before too long.

Yeah, I know about that. What pushed me over the edge was I used my system and 2 others to fry 10 turkeys last weekend. Mine had a tough time keeping the oil at 300 degrees while going full blast.

I think the only thing I'll miss about it is the free time I had while waiting for my wort to boil. I could always get the MLT dumped out for the deer and clean it up and put it out to dry, etc.

We'll see how much propane it uses. I have backup tanks.

I have one and the fuel consumption is not bad, but the flame is. If you're not careful you can over heat your pot handles if you have them.
