Bayou Classic SQ14 Single Burner Outdoor Patio Stove

I use this burner in my homebrew set up. It easily produces enough heat to bring ~12gal of liquid to a nice boil fairly quickly. The stand, obviously, can support all that liquid weight plus the weight of the keg that I use for my brew kettle, more than 120 pounds! Really-great product; and no assembly required.

I like the short legs. A big heavy pot doesn't have far to get to the ground. I put it on flat concrete in my back yard.

The instructions hardly seemed to apply. 95% of the assembly indicated had already been done. If you barely have a clue, then yes, the last 4 items (2 screws, air intake adjuster, gas pipe) might take a minute to figure out, but if that's the case you shouldn't be in charge of this monster anyway.

Putting it on full blast is, well, a blast. Like a small jet engine. Adjusting the air intake to get the perfect blue flame is fun.

Don't know how easy this would be to put on a simmer in a breeze, the flame can be invisible in bright sunlight and could easily blow out on low power.

But I just want it to blast heat energy into water. 3 gallons from 60 degrees to a roiling boil in 10 mins. Nice.

Be careful, as you would naturally expect to be with something that smacks out up to 150,000 BTU.

Great for home brewers.

I purchased this burner for my brew kettle (converted keg). This burner heats
quickly, keeps a good boil and the keg fits on the stand perfectly. The burner is a pit "picky" regarding the air/fuel mixture - I had to find a sweet spot on the regulator and the air inlet on the burner. Once I got it the air intake adjusted in everything was fine.
