Well, I got some extra scratch. I want to buy a nice propane burner. I brew 5 gallon batches but who know when I'll upgrade to 10 or 15 gallons. I think I want one of those banjo burners. They look perty.

Has anyone seen this around for a really good price? Or what do you recommend?

I purchased the Blichmann Burner because I thought that I might upgrade to a Top Tier stand. Having said that, I don't see much difference between the Banjo Burner and the Blichman (as far as the burner is concerned). I love that fact that it heats well and that it is quiet. The Banjo burner has the advantage of being less expensive.

Bought a bayou burner for my 5 gallon brews on amazon for $40. I have had nothing but a good experience with it. If you want to do 10 gallon brews you just might have to see how much weight those stands can hold

BG-14 from Agri-Supply is priced really well at $29.95 plus shipping.

I just got a KAB4 Banjo cooker and love it. The large 10" burner spreads the heat better then the smaller burners. I have not scorched my mash since I got my new burner.

If you're planning to use a keggle, consider the KAB6. It does fit the keg better than the KAB4, but plan on modifying both slightly to adjust burner height. I have the 6 and have seen the 4 in action. Someone else can chime in about other options. If a flat bottom pot, the kab4 would be more than enough.

Yeah, that's where I'm at. I'm looking to spend $70-$80 at most for shipping and all. Less would be better of course. But for what I want, this will work.

I'll check out that Ka6 as well
