Hello everyone. On a previous thread I was trying to dial in my mash and boil volumes and the thread helped out a ton, but it led to burners and made me realize that I think I have been burning too much propane and am not very efficient in my brew day. Thanks to many members out there including Islandlizard I started researching burners.........and oh man, if you have ever done that it is a lot to take in. So instead of looking at what to buy I needed to look at what I actually have and what glaring upgrades I need to make. Of course going the Blichmann route would be nice, but the price tag I could do without. The pictures I have attached are of my two burners. The first 2 pics is the smaller burner that came in a turkey fryer kit. I am unsure of the model. The last 3 pics is other taller burner. It is a Bayou SP50. It was purchased basically for the height. Although I have brewed for a few years and have dissected most parts of my brew process I have not looked at the burners. I am completely ignorant when it comes to the burners (what kind are these?), regulators (what do the numbers on there mean?), BTUs, what is a banjo burner?, etc. Please tell me what I have and if it is adequate for what I am doing (usually a 8-13 gal boil). Thank you everyone. Cheers!
