How many brewers would approve of the Bayou Classic SQ14 burner.
Thanks
Thanks
I don't like mine. I like the stand but it needs a better burner. Mine gets a bad gas/air mix.
I'm not trying to hijack the thread, but are there any reviews on the Bayou Classic SP10?

I have the SQ-14, I think it is great, however, heating times on a 10 gallon batch which for me is 13 gallons pre-boil takes a while, even if I begin heating my runnings as I collect them. Beyond that it is a very stable burner, and gets the job done, I have no qualms with it for 5 gallon batches ~8 gallon pre-boil volume.
No I have a tri-clad flat bottomed kettle, I have to run the burner at full blast for a good 45-50 minutes to get 13 gallons to a boil. Having said that, I have yet to fashion a wind shield for it.
I know a lot of guys use the bayou classic SQ14 posted here : http://http://bayouclassicdepot.com/sq14_propane_burner.htm
and have good results, but how well do these work for 10 gallon batches in a keggle?
Should I just pay the extra money and buy a Banjo KAB4 posted here:

I know these work good with keggles and that keggles fit on top with no modification.
So which one should i get?
Do you know that a keggle doesn't fit on the 10??
Yeah, the cheap burner I have now is similar to that and I have a grate from our smoker that I use. Very easy to do. I just think that With the 10 that I will get a more uniform boil b/c it's flame covers a larger surface area. I've heard that they are just overkill, but Idk. Other people have said that they can get a 12 gallon batch up to boil with the 14 no problem. I think that the classic may be the way to go, but since I'm quite impatient, it's hard for me to decide.
I figured there was a solution. Where there is a will there is a way!
A solution to what?
A solution to the fact the the 10 is too small of a diameter to set a keggle on directly. The solution is to add a grate--right?
The SP-10 is 185,000 BTU while the SQ-14 is 55,000 BTU. The SP-10 is the cheaper of the two at home depot.
I love mine, but I just started using a boil keggle and it doesn't fit. So I might try the grill grate mentioned above.
which one do you have?
