Bayou Classic KAB6 Banjo Burner - High-Pressure Propane Outdoor Cooker for Crawfish Boils, Fish Fry, Gumbo & Homebrewing | Heavy-Duty Commercial-Grade Stove for Large Stock Pots, Soup, Stew & Tamales | Perfect for Backyard Parties, Camping & Tailgating

This is a fairly popular burner choice amongst home brewers and that also was my purpose with it. For me, I integrated these burners into a custom built stand, just simply didn't want the hassle of creating an integrated burner. I was looking for an option that if some day I wanted to do integrated burners I can, and this fits the bill...the burners can be removed from the rest of the burner assembly. I have two of them that I use, one for my hot liquor tank and the other for my boil. I've built a custom propane pipe to distribute propane to both burners with unique flow controls for each burner and can run both just fine on a single regulator.Overall, I haven't noticed the issues that others mentioned about performance. I'm able to easily get a 12-13 gallon batch boiling in no time, hardly takes much time at all. I do have to keep things turned up a bit to get there, but it's not really that much of an impact as I do expect to use some fuel to get that much liquid to boiling temps. I find the stability of the burners supreme using a 15 gallon keg as my kettle, never has there been a concern about it's ability to securely hold my equipment. Performance with some winds about does get a little challenging, but nothing a quick rip of aluminum foil can't fix...but winds can challenge any burner out there. Conductivity of heat hasn't been a big problem, I set these on a wooden stand and haven't had any issues with burns or marks on the wood. I really have come to like these and they've performed admirably for well over a couple years across several dozen batches.When you first turn these things on, expect the paint to burn off. It's a bit unpleasant, but overall, goes fairly quick and never needs done again. Other than that, not much to it...fire it up and go.
