I have a large crawfish boiling pot and need to get a new burner, my old one barley works and can't even get the water to a boil. Is there a certain sized or strenght burner I need for a large pot? Thanks

What size pot?
I'm pretty sure most burners they sell can fit up to 120qt pots and maybe even a little bigger. Make sure you get a high pressure burner by the way. I know of a few people that made that mistake.

Where are you? In BR, Goodwood Hardware.
If you have a single outlet(as in one flame) burner, all you need is a high pressure regulator. Which can also be found at GH.
ETA: Just saw you're in NOLA, most Ace hardware stores should have what you need.

Look for any high pressure jet burner.
Also, swap out the 20 psi regulator that comes with it for a 60 psi regulator. You'll be boiling in no time.

The cheap burners work fine for me. The key is the regulator. It heats a 120 qt pot with ease.

yeah I didn't want to be the first to start the crawfish threads but I really need a new burner asap, the old one just couldn't get it to a boil. BTW I think it is a 100 qt pot.

not sure if this is true
You def need the jet burner type for boiling crawfish, else it takes forever to boil the water. I use 120 qrt pot.

All you need is a burner with ONE hole, the HP regulator will take care of the rest. So before you throw away your old one, go get the regulator and make sure you need a whole new rig.

Or you could go old school and not use a regulator. Just a hose with a valve. It will get your water boiling much faster than using a hose with a regulator.

I've got a 120 qt pot and a bayou classic 20 PSI high pressure jet cooker with a 48" stainless banded LPG hose. I haven't used the yet but should this burner be sufficient without buying any additional regulator? Thanks

The culprit IMO is wind, if you can avoid it you may be ok.
I personally love to just be able to bring it to a boil fast. That way you can ice down if you want and bring it back up to temp without waiting all damn day.

if it worked good at one time, be sure its not clogged w/ dirt dobber nest.
and that you have a high pressure regulator as mentioned

One thing I always do when I buy a rig you're talking about, is to take a dremel, and drill out the tiny jet hole right under the center of the pot. You'd be amazed how fast that thing can burn after opening it up a little.
Ace hardware has the SS stand for 60, usually get a hose and 60psi reg for about 40, much better than the king cooker.
