Any recommendations for crawfish propane burners? My old burner takes forever to bring a pot to boil.

everyone will probably recommend a double jet burner, but dammit i love my banjo burner and it brings crawfish pot up to boil just as quick and is more efficient.

What kind of burner do you have right now? Have you tried upgrading your regulator to a higher PSI?
My bayou classic single jet SP1 came with a shitty 10 PSI regulator and had trouble getting water boiling quickly. After upgrading to a 30 PSI regulator and leaving my propane tank in a shallow pool of water, I can get a 100 qt pot half full of water boiling in about 10 minutes, which is pretty damn good. I wouldn't get a double jet (you'll need to upgrade your regulator with these too) unless you have a 120 qt pot or if you really want your water boiling in less than 10 minutes.
Bayou Classic SP1 Damn, they've gone up in price. I bought this for $37 in 2015.

a BTU is a BTU regardless of if it's coming from a banjo or a jet burner. I use a banjo burner and it does well.

I know it’s pricy but I have a 120qt High Performance rig that gets water boiling in about 5-7 min and it will come back to a boil in a about a minute once you drop the crawfish in. All aluminum it will be the last setup I’ll ever need to buy. It also still works remarkably well in the wind with those tubes welded to the bottom of the pot. The drain comes in real handy as well.
I also use a 40qt one with a banjo to fry turkeys, make gumbo, and so on since you can’t really cook with a jet burner. I can swap out a jet burner if I want with just 3 bolts holding it on.

Mine was the same way. I did away with the regulator and just put a valve on the hose by the tank. I can crank it as high as I need now.

To stop from having to do this..... close your regulator. Hook it to the bottle and only open the bottle about 1/3 of a turn. Open your regulator and light the fire. You'll be able to boil full blast (being controlled by the regualtor) without the bottle freezing.
I actually learned this from reading reviews on Amazon of a double jet burner that I have. I was having problems with the bottle freezing. My wife fixed all that a 2 Christmas ago and bought me a G3 natural gas burner.
