re: Best pressure regulator crawfish burner setup?

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.
I certainly won't argue that point. But there's a pretty easy way to tell what you are getting from your burner setup. Just measure the volume and temperature of the water you start with and measure how much time it takes to get it to another set temp. Then calculate the btu/hr and compare that to the rated output of your burner.

Crap. Maybe mine isn't blowing itself out with pressure after all. I'm going to take that connector off and see what happens.
Thanks

Meh. I don't care enough for that. The banjo boils it plenty fast enough without blowing everyone's ear drums out.
I'd pit that 10" against a regular grease zerk jet burner though. I've cooked many a big arse jambalaya on a 10 or 12" circle burner and it kicks arse.

I got rid of the jet burner for similar reasons. It's loud as hell and it's pretty much a one trick pony. This banjo with regulator set up I have now gives me much more flexibility.

Lawd, this dicusssion got technical! If it boils on my second beer, its goodenuff.
Before my new regulator, it really took three beers to get going.

Any insights in spigots on crawfish pots? I bought a throw away 100 qt with a spigot and the handle burned up pretty quick. I'm nervous that it will eventually leak, but I love the convenience of it.

If it's attached with a nut on the inside of the pot you should be able to get a replacement at any restaurant supply store. That's about all I can think of. A long enough nipple might get a ball valve out of the heat far enough to let you use one.

More like apples and apples. You still have to boil a shitload of water.

You boil 50qts of water for a jambalaya? you boil crawfish in a cast iron pot?
Not once have I said my method for cooking bugs was better than yours, just different, but comparing boiling bugs to cooking jambalaya is just wrong.

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.

40 gallon pots of jamb
It's all boiling water. Leave it to a bunch of coonasses to make boiling water difficult.

I'd love to hear your more complex interpretation of "Flowrate=heat, velocity=noise."

I currently have a turkey fryer set up that I have been boiling bugs in.
it utilizes one of these:
The stand is stainless though and I don't really want to change it out but think I need a new burner orifice. The stand is similar to this where the pot sits down inside of a ring, however the top ring is not scalloped but smooth and level all the way around.
The pot is too small and I want to get a larger pot but use the same stand. I also want to boil water faster. I was thinking of increasing my gas flow by changing out my regulator and adding a jet burner to the stand or possibly one of the multiport non jet burners. I think the stand will adequately support a larger pot on the top ring of the stand I will just need to raise the burner to a correct height to make it work.
Given those details should I convert my existing stand, with what burner, and what size pot should I get?

Get a new, better stand and burner. Keep that one for Turkey Frying.

He's an idiot. I definitely meant that CFM of propane through the line is the only factor that determines how quickly the water boils and that pushing it all through one tiny hole does nothing but make shitloads of noise.
Posted on 4/5/16 at 11:35 am to DownshiftAndFloorIt
you talking about me? I ant to hear your more in depth explanation. because i dropped the topic because i know you arent as smart as you think you are and it wasnt beneficial to me to argue with you.

I was talking about ellictiger obviously. I'm sure he appreciates you volunteering to take his title though.
Posted on 4/5/16 at 2:09 pm to DownshiftAndFloorIt
yea ok. keep thinking you know what you are talking about. once you cut your boil in half you can come talk to me. all i was saying is there is more to think about to boiling water than just flow of gas through the line. This post was edited on 4/5/16 at 2:17 pm
