I picked up a Turkey Fryer with 7.5 Gallon Stainless Steel pot for $60 as a display model brand new. I would like to convert it to natural gas, but I am not sure this small 4" burner will do the job. I have hooked it up to my natural gas hose for my grill coming off of 1/2" pipe. All I can get is yellow flames and lots of soot. I tried using the Blichmann Natural Gas Orifice as well as just a 'flare to pipe' brass fitting from HD and did not have success with either. No matter how much I adjusted the air intake and ball valve, I could not get a good blue flame. I could get 2 foot high yellow flames wide open.
I think the cost of the kit is worth it for the pot. Would I need a different burner to boil 5.5 gallons?
Has anyone converted such a burner with success?
Any suggestions are welcome.
