time for a burner upgrade...what to buy?

Ordered the Edelmetall and thought it was going to blow me up. Several others had similar experiences where they tell you now to tighten the gas bung the whole way, but then when I lit it a giant fireball came out.

Mine actually back fired one time on me. But I had the air damper wide open from the previous boil session. Now I just close the air damper when I light it and haven't had an issue since...

Ended up getting a blichman. Just hoping the wife doesnt ask what it cost.

Hope you like it. It's the one thing in my setup I splurged on and I have no regrets. The noise level + speed at which it works were good selling points. After one session I got the standing legs to go with it (ordered through LHBS so no shipping). Almost no lifting anymore, my back is thankful. I know some single-tier brewers are laughing. But I also have to dismantle my setup at the end of the day and carry everything back down to the basement so size + weight + break-down-ability were important to me.
