Wow Thanks for the link, just bookmarked! Waiting for some comments before pulling the trigger. Great deal!!

Since you're in Oregon, go to Bi-Mart. Pretty sure they are even cheaper there. I have 2 of those burners. Make it over to Bend and I'll give you one for a 6-pack.

sounds like a good deal to me. If I didnt have a setup like that already Id buy it.

I don't know the quality of the "King Kookers" so it is hard for me to say if it is a good deal or not. But what I will say is that I tried to save some money on a burner before and I was disappointed after a few uses. I recently upgraded my stand with a Bayou burner like this one http://www.bayouclassicdepot.com/sq14_propane_burner.htm and it made a world of a difference.
I recommend that burner and then buying the pot separately.

The King Kookers are tough as nails! I've had mine since 93-94 and I'm still using it. Never had a single problem with it except when I cooked the gas hose on the stove itself (not a pretty sight).

Same as the "King Hookers". They burn Hot and Dirty.

received mine today, boiled 9-10 gallons in about 40minutes. Everything seems very sturdy.


BUT, one of the rivets on the handle leaks, looks like I will be calling amazon...
