I bought the SP-10 and used it for the first time this weekend. The reviewers all recommended burning off the paint for 20-30 minutes before using on the brew. I followed their advice and was glad I did. A lot of fumes, ash and paint flakes flying around that could have landed in the pot. After that I brewed an 8 gallon IPA with a 90 minute boil and it worked great!
SQ14 all the way. inexpensive, fairly efficient
I just ordered the SQ14 from home depot for $50 shipped to my door. I've never used it, but its one of the more popular burners for homebrew. The SP10 is the same price and well liked as well, but there was some iffy feedback regarding the regulator so I decided on the SQ14.
Have a new SP-10 that I've used for 3 brews so far. Not so loud once you reach rolling boil. At that point, can turn it down and seems about 80% quieter. Can easily have normal conversation/play radio with no sense of trying to "compete" with burner. Pretty easy to control flame as well. Also has hurricane shield, which is why I chose it over the SQ-14. Based on the weather recently I'm glad I did. Didn't blow out once. SQ-14 has 16" diameter though, which is an advantage over 14" SP-10. People with keggles seem to really like the SQ-14.Right on, the SP-10 is loud and harder to control.
+++1 on the Blichmann. QUIET& gets 8 gal from 60 to boiling in 20-25 min. Easy to control your boil too.
what model? if you can get 8 galons to boil in 20 -25 minutes, I'm buy in one today! I picked up an outdoor cooker on a local classified site for 25.00, didn't have alot of btu output, but it came with a tank full of propane for 25.00 so i thought I couldnt go wrong.
It takes a minimum of 60 minutes to get a full boil (6.5 gallons) and if theres a slight breeze forget about it.

Ch eck out wal-malt's web site. Type in 50 qt. turkey fryer. It comes with a 50 qt. aluminum pot with a drain basket and a burner with a regulator all for $50.00. I had it shipped to the store near me so I didn't have to pay for shipping. The aluminum pot heats up a lot faster than stainless steel. Just boil a full pot of water only to build up a coating on the inside of the pot. Check out the thread on SS versus aluminum. I have used both and prefer aluminum because it heats up a lot faster. Either way, burners are great for AG and full boils.
