I have a King Kooker and the regulator doesn't work and had to borrow my neighbor's. Where can I can a good stand with the gas line and regulator? Want something good, not crap. Already have a nice pot and strainer, so just need this.

Thanks

Yep, $60 on prime. Replace the 10 psi regulator if you want to kick it up

How old is it? My King Kooker stands/regulators are over a decade old and going strong.

Pay attention men, this is what we call a "dream" come true! The Bayou Double Jet Propane Burner originally was to be offered with a 40 PSI regulator, however we were told "you can't do that". So when selling the Bayou Double Jet Propane Burner with a 20 PSI regulator, all we can say is this burner has the POTENTIAL of being the hottest burner on the market. We keep tinkering like a Cajun should . . . and look at what we made! The Bayou Double Jet Propane Burner has a larger, wider stand than most. This is the same stand that is used for our KAB6 propane burner. The stand can hold up to a 162 quart pot. That's 40 gallons! You will be able to use the 20 PSI regulator to heat up that big ol' pot, but may take a little time. If you want a big ol' boil . . . kick it up with your 30 or 40 PSI regulator (at your own risk).

Yea I didnt feel the need to get a different regulator. The stock one works just fine on a 100qt pot

Is anything else wrong with it? Just get a new hose and regulator from academy.

Or give it to me and I'll do that.

ANSI Standard for Outdoor Cooking limits PSI to 10 for fryer/boilers. Currently working on getting a revision to the printed Standard to raise PSI limits for “boilers.” Like anything committee related, that takes time. Northerners don’t quite understand why anyone needs more than 10 PSI.

Unfortunately as of today, if you buy a tested and certified jet cooker it is limited to the 10 PSI cap.

That doesn’t prevent anyone from buying an aftermarket regulator to bump up that PSI on their personal rig though. Can find 10 to 30 PSI regulators at most local hardwares that have any outdoor cooking section.

I have the Stainless Bayou Classic double jet burner. With the stock regulator and my 100qt rocket pot, I can get to a rolling boil in just over 7 minutes

Uhhhh, I just recently bought a burner from lowes and it came with a 30PSI regulator......


The bayou classic double jets are now sold with 30 psi regs

I have the same burner. I used it for the first time last weekend. It sure drained my propane tank quickly. But I guess that is to be expected.

Yea it will eat through a tank quick. When it starts to taper off, put the tank on its side. You should be able to squeeze another few minutes out of it

Yeah, that's what we did. The problem was we had two tanks that were already less than half-full to start.

Yes, you are correct some manufacturers sell units that have regulators in excess of 10 PSI. Those units don't meet the safety standards of the industry however and will not have a compliance mark (UL or CSA stamp showing certification).

Walmart only sells units that meet the standard due to liability concerns. That's why if you buy a boiler from Walmart or Sam's it will have a 10 PSI regulator.

Yea the first pot will go through a tank fast. I always use a full tank to start. The 2nd pot is heated already so the remaining of the first tank and some of the second is usually enough

I've done two separate boils with the linked burner and haven't gone through an entire tank yet.
