Used our old turkey fryer burner for our new keggle didn't work so well...probably wouldn't even been boiling yet! Anyone recommend a burner for a keggle thinking if a bayou burner
 
I've got a Sabco burner that I use for both my turkey fryer and keggles. The older 3leg version is more stable, but it seems they might only make the 4leg anymore. It will fit a variety of different burner heads (high or low pressure) if you desire enough BTUs to flash fry a buffalo.
 
I have this one and it worked wonders with a keggle. If you are thinking about doing an occasional 10 gallon or larger batches in the future I would highly recommend this one. It can boil up to a 1bbl! This thing is built like a tank too. I cant imagine ever having to replace this.

The only thing I had to do to increase efficiency was install an easy wind screen. Took maybe 20 minutes total. Heres a link to what I did.

50,000 BTU will probably take awhile my turkey fryer was 34,000 I think,took 3 hours to get water to 162
 
The one I posted is 210,000 btu's! takes no time to boil my batches and doesnt use much propane after installing the cheap and easy windscreen
 
Yeah finsfan I think I might go with the one you got! Thanks

You wont be disappointed, this thing is built like a tank and should last me at least 10 years. Id be very surprised if it lasted any less than that. Just make sure to make a windscreen for it otherwise your propane and brew time with take a beating. I saved over an hour on my brew day just by taking 20 minutes to install the windscreen. Happy burning :D
 
Just ordered the burner thanks finsfan I'll let you know how it works! Cheers
