So I'm working on my 3 tier stand still and am to the point of mounting burners. I have 3 bg14's.
I think I have it dialed in as good as it's going to get, but wanted to check.
I did a test boil with 5 gallons of 53f water and was able to reach rolling boil in 20 minutes in my 25gal mega pot. Calculates out to 19,893 btu/hr in the kettle. They claim the output is 210k btu... so not sure if that's a good transfer or not.
This was with the burner at 3.5" below the pot. Any closer and I get flame spill out up the sides of the pot. It's also with the burner as dialed in as I could get which is about 1" high blue cones with no yellow.
I'm thinking of going with the 3.5" mounting distance from bottom of kettle and then adding a windscreen with a 1" gap left between bottom of kettle to allow for airflow. Will also have hole for lighting.
All that said, what do you all think? Good? Or do I need to dial it in more / make any adjustments?
Thanks!
