I know it seems like this has been asked 100 times, but after searching the forums extensively, I haven't found the answer to my question, most refer to the 21 or 23 tip jets or the high pressure 10 tip jets.
So, from what I've gathered, without doing any modifications, these seem to be the only two worthwhile low pressure propane burners. There is a significant price different with the 10 tip jet burners being basically double the hurricanes, which is definitely a factor....but...If price was not an issue, why chose one over the other? I am building a brutus system and would like to go with whats spec'd in the plans, but am not opposed to altering either (I already am with a no weld design and boilermakers). So, this is what I have gathered thus far:
Jets: http://www.gashosesandregulators.com/jetburners.html
advantages:
-lighter and can mount directly to gas piping without additional mounts.
-look better IMO
-are spec'd in the brutus plans so makes it a little easier to build
cons:
-cost
-may be a bit much for a direct fired mash tun
Hurricanes:
advantages:
-cost
-may provide a more controlled flame, especially at lower levels
-may provide a more uniform flame
cons:
-need to build additional mounts
-larger/heavier
-additional parts needed to plumb
-ugly IMO
am I missing anything? Can anyone help explain why you would chose one over the other (other than price)?
Thanks...and sorry for the long post.
