For gas heat yes but I do this for my smaller 6 gallon electric brew sessions in my 15 gallon bayou kettle and it works well.Having the hop basket on the bottom during the boil is not a good idea. I did it for just a few seconds once, and got some light scorching (luckily not enough to taste in the beer.) So, having it on the bottom for long periods of time is likely to result in significant scorching.
Brew on
I would guess most people using gas/propane setups would have proper ventilation for it and wouldnt be looking for this approach but I could be wrong here.
