We have this and a KAB4 (16 inch). They have worked flawlessly for 3 years.
This is a great burner, and the stand is large enough to fit a keggle easily. You can find them much cheaper than that, though. I picked mine up for just under $80 shipped.
Just got the latest catalogue from Northern Brewer, and they are now offering a burner at $39.99 that looks pretty good. Called the "Dark Star Burner," they claim that it heated 5 gallons of water from 67°F to boiling in 17 minutes, while using only 0.8 pounds of propane. It is a "torch"-style burner, and is able to support a boil kettle up to 10 gallons in capacity.

Someone please explain why the Blichmann is better than a Bayou Classic KAB6. They use the exact same banjo burner, but the Bayou Classic is at least $50 cheaper. The only difference I can see is the Blichmann name and the fact that it's shiny.
Nagorg said:I have also read where some folks say the KAB6 has too much distance between the burner and the kettle. Folks wind up hacking and re-welding the bars to be closer to the burner, more like the Blichmann. So, unless you have the tools and skillset to do that yourself it's probably cheaper to just buy the Blichmann.
I was going to buy the KAB6 myself but went ahead and spent the extra cash for the Blichann. Man am I glad I did; that thing kicks some "Bling, Bling" arse!
Plus it truly "sips" propane!

out of all the things we all buy for home brewing...$150 could be one of the least expenses we have. The more I look at the burner and the design, 50 more for something like that isn't bad at all.
According to this link this is 1000 btu's!! any one dispute? hell of a deal. I saw a 54,000 for 39.00 in my brew mag, thought that was a great deal, but 1000 for 38.00 sheeez!!!
