Bayou Classic SQ14

[jhonda00]

A solution to the fact the the 10 is too small of a diameter to set a keggle on directly. The solution is to add a grate--right?

Thats what I do with the one I have now. It's not as scary as it sounds b/c the weight of the keggle makes it pretty secure.

Made my keggle last weekend, and you are correct, doesn't quite fit on the 10. Fits like a charm on the 14. Guess I'll be looking for a grate.....

The SP-10 is 185,000 BTU while the SQ-14 is 55,000 BTU. The SP-10 is the cheaper of the two at home depot.

I love mine, but I just started using a boil keggle and it doesn't fit. So I might try the grill grate mentioned above.

I have both. Well, more accurately, I own the SP-10 and friend has brought over the SQ-14. The 10 does not fit a keggle, plain and simple. It fits under the bottom lip which is dangerous and renders the vent holes ineffective. it fits just fine on the 14, which of course is a square rather than a circle.

I've been doing ten gallons batches in my keggle and the 14 has been just fine. Its not as powerful, but it doesn't really take that long to bring 12-13 gallons to a boil. I'd say 30 minutes max. I'm sure the 10 would be much quicker, but until I get a grate to lay across it I'll stick with the squared stability of the 14.

I bought the SQ-14 on Amazon 2 weeks ago, $49 and free shipping. Made my first batch with it last weekend, works perfect for my 9 gal brewpot.
