gas burners

[hb441]

Do you think someone could remove one of the gas burners off of a GE Profile gas kitchen stove and convert
that one burner to a high output wort boiler burner...even if its not as high volume as a regular gas wort boiler set up...it would be convenient.....??

I'm guessing that the GE Profile gas burner is optimized for natural gas. However, provided that you can supply a proper gas flow to it I cant imagine why it couldn't be used for boiling wort. No idea of the output for the specific burner you mention but it sound feasible!

Propane burners are not expensive. At all.

That's what I was thinking. IMO it will cost you more to try to adapt the stove burner than to get a propane burner that will probably be hotter anyway.

You can buy a bayou classic replacement bg10 burner for about $10 and a 10lb regulator for under $20. Way easier than trying to make something work with old stove parts.

The largest kitchen range burners typically top out around 8K btu.
Even if they were double that, that's still a pretty wimpy burner for brewing, where 50K btu is eminently more useful for 5 gallon batches...
