Can anyone recommend a propane gas burner for our 700 litre boil kettle? We're based in Argentina and running off 45kg propane gas tanks. Currently have a way underpowered burner that takes about 7 hours for 400 lts of water to reach 100 centigrade. Thanks!

I'm not sure your propane tank will provide enough gas, but assuming it does, what about 1 or 2 of the JETC88 - 19" Diameter Jet Ring Burner like these? It's available in propane.Originally posted by Fettucini View Post
These are available from a lot of different vendors...probably someone in Colombia should have them. I'm sure it will sound like a rocket taking off, but this will produce a lot of heat. You could probably make something yourself from a rectangular manifold, if you purchased the jets individually. The key with these is to install the jets in pairs, so the flames impinge on each other. 700 litres is a lot, though...this burner is good for probably 2/3 of that. It's got to be faster than 7 hours, though!
They claim 880,000 BTU/hr, but that's probably the gas consumption, not the heat produced. Your tank will need to be able to vaporize that much propane, though.
