Wondering if there's anyone out there using (or has used) an old CDC (or similar) direct fire kettle and could share what burner they're using and if you know what it's putting out, BTU-wise?
I've got an Adams Speed Flame rated to 400,000 BTU and the flue temp was measured at 825-850F about four feet above the flue exit - seems like a lot of $$$ going out the stack.
Any idea of what the "sweet spot" of BTUs would be to get that lovely rolling boil and yet not waste natural gas?
Thanks,
