What wrong wid da beer we got?
In my experience - it isn't so much a function of BTUs but matching your pot to your burner size. You can have a huge burner, but if all that heat is blowing around the pot - it is completely wasted. I think the Blichmann is 72,000 BTU - and it has good shielding around the burner. I throw up a couple of pieces of sheet metal around the burner when in operation and I get >6 batches out of a tank. It does well enough that I don't even really pay attention to how many batches a tank lasts anymore - just cycle in a spare tank on the rare occasion that I run out.
Is that an update international/mega pot/etc? Just curious as to whether it fits on that burner as I have the same one.
And quiet eh? My bayou is noisy as hell.
PJM said:I have a 15 gallon UI kettle and it fits perfectly on this burner. It has adjustable sliding pieces that center the pot and keep it from moving. This is a great burner and is a great balance between power and efficiency.
Great burner no doubt, there newly modified regulator sucks though...
What is wrong with it? I just got one of these at the beginning of the year and LOVE it!
I like everything I've read about this burner. Our LBHS in Houston sells the Blichmann floor burner for 149.99. That seems like a good price, but could I do better online?
I think that is the standard price everywhere. I got mine at Northern Brewer when they were offering a $25 gift card with a purchase of the burner. That's about the best deal I could find.
I just assembled my floor burner with extended legs. The burner came with two wide-head phillips screws, not mentioned in the assembly manual. Did I miss something? Any idea what they're for?
Looking forward to putting this to good use this weekend.
