I use a 55 gallon blichmann to do 33 gallon batches and my banjo burner (kab6) works just fine - but it eats a lot of propane.

I highly recommend a kettle larger than 30 gallons unless you love staring at your kettle to avoid boiling over - and still end up boiling over.

I agree with the suggestions for larger vessels than you think you need. I mean, I've boiled over with 7 gallons in a 15 gallon pot before. 30 gallon would be a minimum and you'd have to babysit it if it were a wide pot leaving only a few inches of headroom.

This burner ought to be enough:



JK, I'm pretty sure this is designed as a weapon...i can see no purpose to have 880,000 BTUs aside from killing things.

When I saw that I was wondering if its a burner or a flame thrower. 880K BTU's, you want it cooked well done in 30 seconds, no problem.
