I m looking for a burner for my AG setup and ran across this one. I noticed that it's a 'jet' burner and not just a regular burner.
http://www.homebrewing.org/12-Tall-Jet-Burner-200000-BTU_p_68-271.html

What exactly should I look for in a burner....the one I posted a link to has 200,000 BTUs...isn't that a little overboard? It also doesn't look like it comes with the hoses and regulator.

Also, some are listed as high pressure and low pressure...I am assuming the use of a propane tank would be high pressure and the low pressure is used in household occupations.

ARRG....I need help picking out a cheap (<$65) efficient burner but there are soo many to chose from.

Thanks in advance!

That will work. Heres mine i got at home depot for 50 bucks. It works great and has a really solid/stable base.

Jet burners eat propane & burn wort. The jet doesn't spread the heat out, but the high capacity makes them great for heating sparge water fast. The burner posted above, is a good choice. It you look closely, it has a large number of small gas jets. This gives you even heating. Anything from 55K to 200K BTU will work. A stand that is tall enough that you can get the fermenter under the spigot is nice, but a short stable stand works.

Thanks guys for your input.
I guess I can't read what brand that is that Bjorn posted in the picture. I went to Home Depot's site and they didn't list any small burners, so I couldn't figure it out.

What does that label say?

if you ever think you are going to upgrade your kettle to a converted half barrel I would go with a square burner like posted above, other wise you will end up modifying your round burner to get more stability.
