Natural gas for crawfish burner
Posted on 2/24/15 at 10:24 am

We're building a house and I thought about running a line into the garage that I could use to hook up my burner to. I homebrew and boil crawfish pretty frequently so it would be convenient to not have to go get propane.
Is this a good idea? I know natural gas doesn't burn as hot as propane, will this cause any issues?
Pretty much know nothing about trying to run a burner off a natural gas line.

Will take longer to boil, other than that

my parents have always had one. boils water just fine if you use the proper burner. MUCH quieter also.
dads first burner was an old hot water heater bottom that he welded some feet onto. worked great for years.

they make burners that have jets designed for NG

That's pretty cool. I wonder how much faster the water boils with the jets?

The jets would work great, but a specialized pot does wonders. Rocket Pot

What are the benefits of this pot?

That thing looks intense...

They work. I was skeptical until I saw it personally.
All those extra spindles increase surface area and keep more heat below the pot and into the pot, as opposed to running up the sides. They're pretty awesome. If I had a spare $300 I'd buy one.

If you get the right burner NG works great. CootKiller has a burner that looks and performs just as good as a propain burner

We have outdoor hook ups for gas and it boils water just as fast as LP but we had to get one of the ng burners. LP jets won't work. If I remember correctly, residential gas is less that .5 PSI. Depending on where you are building, you may be able to have your service pressure increased. I don't remember is mine was changed or not, the company who installed our generator handled everything.

Check out the G4 Burner, little expensive but works great.

I've been looking into this as well. I have @ 150 quart cooker that a friend built for me, but it quickly runs through propane.
I've used a G-4 before and they're nice, but does anyone know which would be better on NG for a bigger pot, a G-4 or the multi-jet burner posted by tiddlesmcdiddles above?
Thanks.

works very well and is a hell of a lot more convenient that propane...
the catch is, you will need more pressure to your burner than the typical .25 psig that is delivered to your house and since most of your appliances are designed to accept the .25 psig delivery, you may have to install a few regualtors at the appliances to reduce pressure...
short of it is, someone who knows what they are doing needs to design out your system for you if you want to do that...
