A number of Brutus 10 builds rather than using jet burners have went with the Hurricane Burners from NB. While NB doesn't list the BTUs on this burner I think many have said it's 60,000. I'm wondering from the people out there using Hurricane Burners if it meets your needs? How long does it take you to get to strike temp for 5 and 10 gallon batches? How long to get to a boil after sparge? Do you wish you would have went with a burner with more BTUs?
Ive also read a number of people are using 32 tip jet burners and plugging up a number of the jets. Why do this and not just get the 20 or 10 tip jet burners? Ive read, and there is some debate on this, that jet burners are harder to control the flame on because each jet has its own oxygen intake. Anyway Im no gas burner expert and Im just looking for some advice from both sides on what burner to go with.
Im planning to go low pressure propane for portability and right now am kind of hung up between the following burners.
