I have a SQ-14 burner, and I am trying to heat my water for my malt do it's magic. It's taken nearly an hour to get the water from 50 degrees to 165. Is that typical? It seems far too long for me.
I am using a black painted keggle, a mostly full propane tank, and I am using a lid. There is about 6 gals of water in the keggle, and the ambient temp is right at 53 degrees.
The valve on the tank and pressure thingy are turned all the way open, and the air vent is open as well. The air intake is fully opened. The burner itself is virtually silent.
I am assuming that I have done something wrong, as these burners are apparently commonly used by brewers on this forum. It just doesn't seem right to me.
