Has anyone used the Bayou Classic SP1 Jet Cooker to brew beer with. I want to put a keggle on top of it and use it for my boil. It is cheap and packs a helluva punch. Just wondering if anyone has used this burner. Thanks

That was my fear unfortunatly. I think I am going to save up for the Banjo plus and get that. I will be doing my boil in a keggle.
x2 SQ14.
From what I hear it's not really practical for 10 gallon batches but it's great for me, who brews 5 gallon batches.
I have the SQ14 now and can get about 3 boils per batch now....already paid for itself
I'm fairly certain its the burner as the SQ14 actually has a burner where the SP1 is just a blow torch.
I can't quote any math or any officialy reasons...just my observations.
I relate it to a garden hose. while yes I can water my lawn directly from the hose it is much more effcient to use a sprinkler to disperse over the whole lawn than a power washer turned way down from where it wants to go.
yes but if they're both turned down to the same flow rate that won't matter. only when they are at their respective maximum burn rate would that matter, and with a higher flow, more heat is available and the burn time to boiling is less. total heat btus per volume of gas burned should still be theoretically identical. granted a higher burn rate may possibly waste a bit of heat even if it boils faster.That might be the clincher...I'm not sure the flow is the same.
My SQ14 came with a 10PSI reg and the SP1 has a 20PSI reg
The logic seems sound...all I can use to argue are my results.
Although I do think the SQ14 takes longer than my SP1 did...we aren't talking hours just say from 15m on the SP1 to 20m on the SQ14...and the SQ14 does it using less gas which I guess means it applies the heat more efficiently.
