You are correct in stating that the rule of thumb for a propane flame is "the bluer the better," although a yellow tip on the flame is pretty normal. A flame...
sounds like you have something like my bayou classic SP-10, or the SP-1 with 10 PSI regulator. i think the main difference is the regulator. my 20 psi gives it...
... Hi Greg, Bluer is hotter. You can correct the yellow flame by adjusting the pressure of the propane if you have an adjustable propane regulator....
Thanks everyone for the replies. Bill, you are right in describing the similarity between your system and mine. I do have an adjuster on my regulator. I...
what you have is commonly called (at least here in the midsouth) a Cajun cooker. It puts out a lot of heat and uses a lot of propane. You are correct in...
Clyde, Thanks for that information. However, the one thing I noticed is that the more I opened up the valve on the regulator (and allowed for more gas to go...
I think I have the same burner. Does anyone know just how much more propane it uses? Just a ballpark figure... 1.5x average, 2x average, worse? Wondering how...
I have the SP-10Â listed by a fellow poster at 185 000Â BTU it really sucks gas. I'll be lucky if I can get 5 batched out of it. I also use it to smelt down...
I just looked it up, and mine's actually a King Kooker, 38,000 BTU. So I guess I'm okay on fuel consumption after all. Should I expect 4+ times as many...
So does anyone have a suggestion for which burner to buy? I'l looking for one now and it seems that IÂ can't just look for the highest btu's available, and...
I think you are just changing the flow with the valve, not the pressure. most cheap propane regulators are not adjustable and just turning the valve won't...
In my case, the flame was "bluest" when the air intake was practically closed. To: BrewingEquipment@yahoogroups.com From: dvdhrry@... Date: Mon, 1 Jun...
that's the one I have.. I find it barely adequate when doing a ten gallon batch.. not to mention that it's a bit scary to put nearly 100 pounds worth of pot...
Seeing how the literature mentions that it can accommodate 30 or 36 quart pots, you should limit it to 9 gallons. I don't see why you couldn't mount the burner...
I guess I got lucky in that aspect as mine appears to be built strong enough to hold 100 tons much less 100 lbs ________________________________ From: David...
Well I didn't get any responses here so I've done some head scratching and more research on my own. I think I've come up with an answer. I've been trying to...
I've been doing continuous recirculation as well, using the water from the HLT pumped through the counter flow chiller to raise the temp. I haven't done the...
... It's not linear like you're thinking. If both burners heat the water efficiently (no wasted heat for either), yours will have to burn a lot longer to get...
I'm running wort through a coil in my HLT so by measuring the inlet temp of the wort as it returns to the MLT I should be able to control the maximum ...
You are right, it is a flow valve, not pressure. I was confused because the valve is right on the regulator. So, what should I be looking for in a regulator...
I used a burner I salvaged from a natural gas hot water heater. I replaced the gas orifices with smaller one for propane (actually, I measured the sice of the...
... And LP is quite expensive compared to natural gas for the same amount of heat provided. Could you post a picture of your burner assembly? I would like to...
Picked up a small 5 CF chest freezer for keeping my Corny kegs in, but I am running into a problem with the temprature control. I can't get it set warm enough...
You're pretty much going to have to use an external temperature controller to regulate the freezer - as you've discovered, the freezer's internal thermostat...
... You can tinker with the thermostat itself if all you want to do is keep things around 35 deg F or so. But if you want to make lagers, you need (or rather...
You need a JOHNSON A-19 controller. Â Sadly they used to be on EBAY for 20 bux each but now you dont see 'em anymore. The normal sources seem to offer them...
Does anyone use the vacuum sealers to repackage bulk DME so it can be preserved longer? If so, how well does the DME store? (You are looking at ~$1.70/lb bulk...
I think that is a brilliant idea assuming the bags themselves are fungal spore free. DME is powdered bacteriological media - "Bugs" LOVE it ! yodar ... From:...
