will these burners work?

[saskman]

so do you guys think this would put out enogh BTUs for a boil? I am planning on building a square stand to house these burners and controls.

 

[Lil' Sparky]

No idea. Where'd they come from. Any idea what they're rated?

 

[Scimmia]

Um, what burner?

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Nice red x ya got there.

 

[saskman]

they are from a camper stove top no idea on the BTUs

 

[saskman]

Lil sparky thatnks for posting that pic, I dont know what went wrong.

 

[saskman]

I found a sticker that says they are 7200 btus not sure if that is each one or what.

7200btu's isn't much more than a kitchen stove.

you'll have a hell of a time getting 6-7 gallons of wort to a rolling boil and maintaining it.

I've got a 10,000 btu butane burner that can't keep 3 gallons at a boil.

I have a 10K camper stove that I've used to keep the old mash tun warm. That let me use the main burner for heating sparge water. It will boil a gallon, in about 30 minutes.

Although, people do brew using two heat sticks, which are 1500 watts (about 5K BTU) each.

yeah, electric is a whole different game, MUCH less wasted heat.
