You can flow just as much gas out of a shitload of holes at a lower velocity than you can do it out of one orifice. Flowrate=heat, velocity=noise

I have a double jet burner from SAMs that came with a 10 psi regulator
I want to go to at least 20 psi so this thread was good timing
Eta: I'll also buy a rocket pot once my pot is ready to bite it

Also you can't drill out the orifice just slightly it helps you from gassing out your flame if you are running it real high pressure. I would advise against stainless hoses mainly because they can get sharp burs and stick you.

You do not need a regulator been straight pipes with a needle valve for probably laat 15 years.

I have the same one plumbed into a bayou classic 200k btu banjo burner.
It tends to snuff out its own flame north of 25 psi, but it truly cuts down your boil time.

I hate jet burners. A lot.
My double jet isn't near as loud as my old school single for some reason. And still boils faster than the single and my multi-jet I have at the camp

I had that 60lb regulator wide arse open on saturday on a double jet burner and it rocked and rolled. Boiled a 100qt rocket pot in about 7 minutes

I've seen people talking about rocket pots, I've never heard of this what's special about them?

I can't find one online. They might not make them anymore. I'd still take a 10" over a loud arse jet any day. As long as the pot is the right height over the burner and you don't use way too much water you'd still get quick boils and a wayyyyyy more pleasant experience.

Supposedly holds heat better. With the double jet and 100qt rocket pot, I'm boiling water in half the time as my old multi jet burner and thin 120qt pot. Might be a little less water but I never filled my 120 to anywhere near halfway.

shite I boiled crawfish in an old beer keg with no stand and the pot wayyyyyyyyy to close to the burner earlier this year. Filled that bitch up to the very tippy top with crawfish. Took about 10 minutes to get boiling again. Crawfish still excellent and we stood around the pot and spoke in a normal voice the whole time. frick a jet burner.

This regulator is the answer.
Put quick connects and a valve at the burner and it's the best set up IMO. Wouldn't need the extra valve near the burner for a jet burner but it comes in handy for other types of cooking for small adjustments or cooking over a bubble

This is what I'm rockin:
So looks like a clean swap of regulators. Not sure I need the valve behind the regulator.

PSA: DO NOT USE A HOSE OR REGULATOR WITH WITH A SAFETY CONNECTOR FOR BOILING CRAWFISH!
The "safety connectors" are the big, plastic, red/green/other color connector that is easy to put onto a propane tank with your hand. Those connectors have a built in overflow protection device (in the connector itself) that will shut down if the preset flow rate is exceeded. And you are probably exceeding it if you are boiling crawfish. The colors correspond to certain flow rates, but I don't remember what they are.
If the gas flow shut off during a boil and you have one of these quick safety connectors, it is probably what is causing the problem. It will shut down every time you exceed it's preset flow rate. This is not a problem with the regulator itself (other than the fact that the regulator is allowing the flow rate to exceed the connector's shut off rate).

Flowrate=heat, velocity=noise
The BTU rating of a burner is calculated from it's flow rate based on the approximate number of potential BTU's for a unit of propane. 2500 btu per cubic foot is the one I have seen the most. That has little to do with how much heat a burner is actually extracting from the propane it uses or how many of those BTU's are actually getting into the water.
The interesting thing about velocity is its general correlation to air entrainment. The faster the flow of gas out of the orifice, the more air it will pull with it into a jet burner and the cleaner and more efficient the burn (in most cases).
So inasmuch as you mean to state that velocity only creates noise, and not heat, and the the propane flow rate is the only determinant of the amount of heat you get from your burner, both your statements are simply wrong.

Pshhhhhhhhhhh
There's that little air letter inner doomahicky on a circle burner that makes it burn all blue n shite
I bet evenly distributing that clean arse burning propane over the bottom of the pot vs blasting a jet of half burnt loud arse propane on the bottom works better.
