Bought one of these this week and finally got it setup with a new propane tank. I did a test on the electric kitchen stove then the same test outside using the new burner. I was surprised how easy it is to adjust the flame just using the air intake on the burner and dialed it in pretty quick, tho i suspect i can still fiddle with it a bit to be more efficient.
I brought 6ga of water to a boil and let it roll for 60 minutes to see what the boil-off would be.
Equipment | Time to Boil | Starting Volume | Ending Volume |
Kitchen Stove | 1:21:00 | 6ga | 5ga |
KAB6 | 0:23:00 | 6ga | 5ga |
Both ending volumes were so close I just rounded it to 5ga. I would've had to use a measuring cup to find the actual difference. Not sure if anyone else will find this data useful but I just thought it was interesting.
BTW I'm not sure what the BTUs are on the electric stovetop, its really old. I can try to find out if anyone needs the info.
Cheers!
