Propane And Propane Accessories
« on: September 06, 2020, 07:23:09 am »
I'm looking to upgrade my propane burner. Would like at least 100,000 BTU, some height to it, and ability to withstand some wind. Recommendations?

The Blickmann line of products is really good. I have had their Top Tier burner for ~6 years, and it does really well in terms of efficiency, low noise level, and heat output. There are definitely cheaper burners out there, but they are often far less efficient, so if you can afford it it's well worth to lay out a little extra for long-term savings.

As for wind, I brew in a sheltered spot without much wind issue, so others may be able to speak better to wind resistance on these burners.

I’ll sell you my old Blickmann if you’re close enough to pick it up (N AL). I have the long and short legs. It’s just sitting around since I moved inside. ...but it’s too heavy to ship IMO.
