Is this burner powerful enough for full boil 5 gallon extract batches? I can get it free, but want to know if it will work well enough. It is a Camp Chef Single Burner 30,000 btu.

Using a 55,000BTU burner I can get 10 gallons to a rolling boil in about 35mins... You'll be fine and the price is right!

Thanks. It seems like it would be okay for what I am doing. The only thing that worried me is that the company description calls it "low pressure". I know the Bayou SP10 for example are called high pressure.

I just ran a 6.5 preboil volume boil on a 45k burner. I had to actually turn the valve way down to keep the boil under control. I was fighting a boilover for the first 10 minutes, until I decided to back the heat off some. 30k should be fine for getting 6-6.5 gallons to boil temps.
Granted this was in a 30 qt turkey fryer pot (tall and narrow), so I'm not sure how your pot might compare.
