I am looking at propane style burner and stand... a full keggle weighs about 100 pounds and I need something that can handle the weight without modification.
I second the SQ-14...solid stand and the burner is big enough to do 10 gallon batches. Actually, I upgraded to a bigger natural gas burner but I still use the same stand. It's a good buy.
Not sure about the make and model, but it is a 23-tip NG jet burner and I got it here: http://www.cpapc.com/store/23-Tip-Round-Nozzle-Jet-Burner-natural-gas-P469C0.aspx
TwoHeadsBrewing,
What are you using to make your connection from the hard plumbed gas line to your 1/2 inch gas pipe on the burner? Is that a flexible gas hose or something similar? I have looked at flexible gas hose but it's so damn expensive. I know some use makeshift tubing but I'm quite worried about safety issues with this. Also, how far is your burner from your gas source?

Disclaimer: Working with NG is dangerous and you should only do this yourself if you are professionally qualified to do so.
That being said, I'm using 1/2"x20 red rubber utility hose from OSH, the super thick walled kind. I have a barbed connection -> 1/2" NPT on each end that is connected to a 1/2" brass ball valve. I use a 3/4" SS hose clamp to hold everything together and make a seal. I tested this using a spraybottle with starsan to check for any leaks. From the T next to the water heater, my burner sits about 22ft away. The 3/4" supply line coming out of the wall is about 80 ft. away from the whole house gas pressure regulator and meter.

does anyone use the hurricane burner and stand with a keggle?

seems like a keggle on there would be awkward...
I bought this one this spring:

I got it for $49 from Ace hardware's website, with free shipping to a local store. So, that's a good price with shipping.

Too bad you are in VA Beach... I have one to sell that is awesome and much more sturdy than any of the ones listed on Northern Brewer. It would probably cost too much to send.
