Hi All,
I know there are tons of burner threads but none of them are really telling me what I'm looking for. Currently I'm doing full 5 gallon boils so about 7 gallons to start. I'm looking for something to get a boil fast, then back it off to maintain the boil without just wasting gas.
I'd also like as efficient design as possible.
Does anyone have any info on consumption related to BTU? Also how much BTU is actually needed to keep 7 gallons at a boil? How about to get it there fast?
I've been looking at the low pressure style with all the little jets, also there are some that hit about 170k btu, just too many choices and I feel very uninformed of what I'm actually looking at.
In the near future I want to build a sculpture so it should be something that will work with that.
Can anyone chip in some insite?
