Hey everyone,
I've used my stove and (sometimes) my friends 'turkey fryer' for the batches I've done, and I've concluded that it's ABSOLUTELY necessary to buy my own burner!
Through the ones I've looked at, it seems they are all centralized around 55,000-60,000 Btu's. I'm wondering if the higher Btu rating necessarily makes one burner better than the other.
Of course I'm sure you should consider the strength of the stand, but for what I'll be doing (5 gal batches) I think almost any burner should hold. When I decide to move up to 10gal, I'll be making my own stand so there's not much worry about it being able to hold a keggle.
I've linked the two I've been looking at below. (I'm in Canada, so I can't really just buy from the states, duty and shipping will cost me a LOT). Also, the second burner (Bayou classic) is rated at 55,000 Btu, I'm not sure why this page doesn't show that, because the regulator is included and that should be a set value.
