It took almost three years, but my wife is finally "nudging" my brewing operation out of the kitchen.
I have been brewing BIAB with a 5-gallon aluminum kettle on an electric stove for over a year, making due with paint strainer bags and patience for water to heat. I've had success with that setup, but I'm curious if my current equipment is compatible with my Bayou Classic burner. Is there any risk of damaging my kettle by exposing it to direct flame from the burner?
My burner is nothing fancy, and I've only ever used it in the past for boiled peanuts (in another 10-gallon aluminum kettle). I believe it's a lower-end single burner, probably on the cheaper end of what Bayou Classic makes. I got my kettle in a NB starter kit, so I know it's not of very high quality. I wouldn't want to scorch it beyond repair.
