How much water did it boil?


I didn’t measure it out, but the same amount as the reference propane test (I marked the pot).

It was a little less than the normal amount used in a 100 qt pot.

I also had the lid open for each test because I was taking temps every 5 mins.

So, assuming 50 quarts, or 12.5 gallons in 20 minutes that comes to about 45,000 btu/hr that went into the water. At 260,000 btu/hr burner, that's about 17% efficiency. That is about right for a pot on a burner. And that's not any slam attempt, that means that your NG burner is doing about the same as a high pressure propane burner.
