Took 2 hours, TWO HOURS to bring 5 gallons in a 10-gallon megapot to a boil on my first attempt at brewing 5 gallons. The flames weren't very tall, barely reached the pot and couldn't be made to go higher - I tinkered with the air intake, I tinkered with the valve - nothing. THe very tip top of the out blue flame barely hit the pot; couldn't get the inner blue flame, the hottest one, to rise up. Mind you I was doing this in Florida - it's 90****ing degrees out here, the water STARTED at 95 degrees before I even lit the burner - STILL TWO HOURS. It literally rose 1 degree per minute - I measured it
Good news is, Amazon is amazing - there's a reason I always buy from them; returning it was easy, and now I'm gonna buy the Blichmann Burner - it may be 3x the cost, but hell, if it can bring 5 gallons to a boil in under an hour and lasts for years, it'll be worth it
