Good video, I like how you modified it without having to weld. I had to do some welding on mine. I also have a 32 jet burner, it won't fit in that ring anyway. I also used. crows foot to connect it to my gas outlet.

I am correct. An incoming line from the gas company is 2lbs before it's regulated down to 4oz.

You can inform the gas company of your demands. Run the new 2lb line and have it tested and inspected and they will remove the regulator once everything is in place.

It's simple you add a tee in the 2lb source feeding the Crawfish burner and regulate it down just before it ties in for Max btu.

You add a regulator that feeds the incoming house gas demands for the 4oz needed.

I have the one Zilla posted about on the first page. I purchased mine from Good Wood Hardware. It is not cheap. It is worth every penny. We boil most wknds during crawfish season. SO much better than dealing with bottles.
It is so convienent we have started doing cracklins, shrimp and other things when no crawfish are available.

If you only boil 4-5 times a year it may not be worth it.

Good Luck

My thought when looking at that gas line hose running to the burner.

Bottom of the pot will turn black but who cares


Rub liquid Dawn soap over the bottom and halfway up the side of the pot. When your done just rinse off the black.

My dad's pot is at least 25 years old. Looks brand new.

I have been using the same burner in that picture for a number of years. Hook up directly to natural gas line - no regulator necessary as residential gas pressure is pretty low

Works just fine. Those quick connects restrict the flow, recommend that you do not use them

It varies, mine is 4 lbs before the regulator

Yes if you have the gas company come out and change the regulator you can get higher pressure in your house but some won't do it for residential.

I did this same setup for my outdoor kitchen. If your coming off a 4oz line then the line ID and length plays a big part to have enough Btu's. I compared by double jet propane to my 23tip ng and the ng took a little over a minute longer to bring water to a boil.
