Propane Burner Questions

[starrfish]

40 qt pot to be delivered tomorrow

Looking for just a burner.

Saw heights from 12" to 25" was leaning toward taller model at first, now not sure.

considering:
King Kooker Jet Burner Outdoor Cooker
$64.99

King Kooker 12" Outdoor Cooker
$62.99

or King Kooker 25" Tall Heavy Duty Burner ...
$54.00

advantages vs disadvantage tall vs short.
Looking for adjustable regulator for sure... any other features you guys found essential?

going to want to try out new pot soon after getting, so I'm trying to shop local. 1st all grain mild ingredients coming tomorrow too!

This is 210000 BTUs. You can remove the burner and it's $40 bucks if you go into to Home Depot to get it. The $50 price seems to be only online.

Devaspawn... what burner are you referencing?

 

[starrfish]

I found 2 At the home-depot site

Bayou Classic-Single Burner Outdoor Patio Stove Model SQ14
$49.97/EA-Each w/15 psi regulator & square burner grate

and

Bayou Classic High Pressure Outdoor Gas Cooker with 20 PSI Regulator & round burner grate Model # SP10
$39.96/EA-Each

15 psi more efficient? it's $10 more...

Bayou Classic SQ-14. Works real well.

Starfish,

Whats the dimension on that pot. I had listed a stand in the classifieds that will take up to 16"" pot. Stand also has a 10 psi adjustable reg. You would need a bayou classic burner for it (12 bucks online). I'll give you a deal far better then those. I think the reg actually has the burner orifice as well.

PM if your interested.

I'm bummed. My home depot doesn't carry the Bayou Classics (round or square) in store and wanted $18 to ship over $49.99 price!

I guess I'm off to ACE Hardware at lunch.

Thanks for the offer. Looking to buy local as I really want to try out new pot this weekend after my fly fishing trip saturday!. Sunday might be a double header brew day 1 partial, 1 all grain.

No problem. What the hell I'll drive it from WI to SC today!

 

[starrfish]

Saw a few different PSI rated regulators... 10, 15, 20
which is more efficient?
does higher PSI use more gas? less gas?

thanks

Higher PSI means more gas, but you're only getting the full pressure with the needle valve wide open. As you close the valve, you turn down the flame, and you use less gas, of course. Higher pressure gives you more power when you want it, but small adjustments to the valve have a much larger effect, so they're harder to adjust on the low end.

 

[starrfish]

ThanKs Scimmia!

great info. Model I'm really interested in has 15psi reg. right in the middle.
