I have been using a old turkey Fryer. Like most folks I guess. Unknown BTU's I have owned it for decades. First time using it last year, I had to replace hose, then again as it cought fire!!!!! I added a 6" steel nipple then coupler and another new steel mesh covered hose. It worked, but slowly and with long orange/yellow flames. No matter the settings.
I didnt know how slow I was, till my buddy bought his own setup with a 10.000 btu burner and pot with lid. He can melt lead at honest 3x my speed! As propane burns at same temps regardless its his burner. Complete blue flames.
Last week @ Cabelas I ran across a flash sale where the double fish fryers was 40% off! So I grabbed it. I haven't yet used so maybe it will work but my buddy has me doubting the 58.000 btu rating. Thats when I learned his was 100,000 btu's.
What do you use and whats the BTU's.
