How Many BTU?

[EndlessWinter77]

Ok I searched the threads for a while and could not find a solid answer. I want to make 5-15 gal. batches and I will use it to deep fry turkeys and smaller creatures. What is a good range of BTU's to shoot for for so that it is not overkill, but heats quick? Thanks

Single Propane Burners, High Pressure Propane Burner

This is what I have and it does great for 5 - 10 gal batches but the 20psi regulator is overkill for turkeys. If you use a 10psi or smaller reg its great for frying.

first your gonna want two separate brewpots because of the oil, it's bad for head rention in beer. secondly most fryers(60k) are fine for 5-9g boils any more and you will need a banjo burner(90k+).

Thanks for the help. I will have two seperate brew pots but say I had a large stainless that I wanted to use for both, could I clean it well enough with oxyclean so that it would not effect the beer?
