Pretty new to All Grain, but got a Banjo Burner for Christmas to replace my old turkey fryer burner. Works great, heats 8 gal's to 180F in about 15 mins, but I've run low on propane each time I've used it. Tried a new regulator with a gas gauge, but that only confirms I'm out of gas. So I did a little research tonight and "discovered" that 15# of LP will only run a 210,000 BTU Banjo Burner for about 1.5 hrs! That's almost a whole bottle per batch!
A friend once told me that he runs his "Tower" on Natural Gas, after drilling out the aperture. You Tube videos make that look pretty easy. But I'm wondering how well it can work when NG delivers only about 5# pressure.
Who has experience out there and can advise me?
