Banjo Burner

[Surlyday]

Who has experience with the Banjo Kick A? I've read how powerful they are and how much propane they use. Just set one up and tried to boil about 4 gallons of water. I've got it set pretty low and my water temp is about 125 after 45 minutes. Am I just babying this thing? How high of flames do I need? How high is too high and just inefficient?

I'm thinkin you're probably just babying it. I have the SP10 (a size or two smaller than yours) and it will boil 6+ gallons in about 20 mins. I typically crank it pretty high to get it up to temp, but once it starts boiling I turn it down really low. Typically, i get 3-4 batches per propane tank.

Thanks. I'll let her rip and see how it goes

Have you seen the mods to bring the pot closer to the burner?
