I've had a couple of cheapie WalMart turkey fryer burners for about 2 years now, and they still work like the day they came home. Not the greatest flame, but gets the jarb done. About 6 months ago, I found the Bayou Classic SQ14 at home depot and picked it up. Worked great for awhile, but now, it's really spotty. Not sure what the problem is...doesn't matter how much I adjust the oxygen mixture, it still screws up. What it's doing is, when I turn it on low and light it, it's fine...but as I increase the gas, many of the jets will blow out, and the ones that don't blow out seem to dance wildly and flicker. They're still blue, but I'm not getting near the amount of heat I was getting from it when it came out of the box, and not even as much as the old WalMart ones. Often, if I turn it up all the way, it completely blows out. Any idea what might be the culprit here, and if it's fixable?
If not, does anyone have a recommendation for a higher-BTU unit? I'm looking at the 30psi, 210K-BTU KAB4 unit. Good?
