Hi Everyone, I am looking for any ideas out there as to what we can do. We are very close to having our brewpub built out and have run into a problem with the city inspections department not approving our anticipated LG gas burner for our 3.5 bbl gas fired kettle from Stout Tanks and Kettles.
They are telling us that we cannot use 2 - 100,000 btu "wok" burners under our kettle because they are not UL listed or are not installed in UL listed equipment.
They are telling us that then only type of burner that they will approve is UL listed equipment that is made for a commercial kitchen.
As far as I can tell I cannot find any equipment that will fit under our kettle at about 12 in off the ground that will put off enough heat to bring the wort to a boil.
The kettle is 31 in diameter and has a heat shield that extends to just above the floor.
We are in North Carolina, so any other brewpubs in NC with information on what the state wants is appreciated.
Thank you in advance for any help.
