My friend and I purchased a Blichmann TopTier burner last week after the hose on our turkey fryer caught on fire. We purchased the turkey fryer at Lowes back in December for $60, pot and all. It served us well through at least 15 brews. We averaged about 5-6 brews per tank of propane. However, after brewing 2 beers with the Blichmann we ran out of gas. We read the directions and understand how the Blichmann differs from a traditional turkey fryer and what the optimal flame settings should be. We do 6.5 gallon boils which usually results in 5 gallons in the fermenter. How many beers are you able to brew on your Blichmann on a tank of gas? I thought this burner would be more efficient. Is there a problems with our burner? I was smelling a lot of pure propane while burning, more than when using the old turkey fryer.
