Mine is 170,000 BTUs; got it at Farm & Fleet. If I had to do it over again, I'd look for one with a shorter, more stable frame, like some of the ones others have shown earlier. But at the time, I was chompin' at the bit to plunge into AG! :D

I like to eyeball/balance the pot on mine so that it's centered on top of the 'ring'. It's not a big deal and I don't think it would ever tip over b/c it's actually pretty sturdy.

Here it is:

Works lke a charm!
 
Here's mine: http://www.bayouclassicdepot.com/index.php?target=products&product_id=1616

Rated at 150K BTU, but it uses a 10psi regulator. It's much quieter than my old 170K, which used a 20psi reg, was loud as hell and used loads of propane. This one is quiet and much more efficient. It seems to heat just as quickly, if not quicker.

I'd be afraid of that Bayou Classic 210K....it uses a 30psi reg. I bet that thing is thirsty and loud!
