Let's talk about burners

I cook a lot of jambalaya. I'm about to purchase a 15 gallon setup. Now I'm trying to decide on the burner. My 5 gallon burner looks like the left in the image below. Is there any benefit to the burner on the right. I see these more and more now and I honestly have no idea if they are better or worse or worth a shite at all. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I don't need a burner to help me make a good jam 
2 good points though. Any negatives other than the price?

I have the burner on the right. It is light and easy to carry. The only thing that I did to modify my aluminum burner is round off the sharp edges on the flaps where the pot sits. I have always said when I upgrade my pot from my 15 to a 20 I would get the burner on the left. No reason just something different. I do like the fact I can slide the rods and cook in my Dutch oven on the same burner when not using my jambalaya pot. I think they are both good burners.

Thanks Nola. That helps. I love my traditional burner. Like you I wouldn’t mind mixing it up but just wasn’t sure if it didn’t block wind as well or anything crazy like that.

I have the set up on the right and love it. I’m hard on equipment, and it’s tough as nails. I like the 2 rods where you can put smaller pots on and cook with the rig.

One on the right is the one that Church was using when all those People Got Sick.

R&R welding

What store was this picture taken in? My aluminum burner was one of the originals with just legs no wheels.

Picture is from galvez hardware.
The 5 gallon I have now is from R&R. The problem with him is he takes forever and in this case I can actually get a better deal on an aluminum setup from somewhere else. Which is kind of why I’m asking the question. I’m really trying to decide if I go back to R&R for exactly what I have but in a 15 or if it’s worth it to get the aluminum. Just based on what people have said I think for a burner that size the aluminum may be worth it just for the weight.

Care to share your hookup on this aluminum?
Posted on 4/11/18 at 12:53 pm to LSUsmartass
I don't really have a hookup. You just can't buy locally around Gonzales. Unfortunately, they're real proud of their stuff. Buddy of mine works out near Nola and a hardware store out there has this setup:
15 Gallon Aluminum "Roll Around" Combo
Includes the following:
Pot w/ Lid and Lifting Hooks--Aluminum Stand w/ Low Pressure Burner--30psi H.P. Regulator and Propane Hose--Stainless Steel Paddle.
$579.00
(Available in 20 gallon combo also)
For reference, stores around here want $749 for the just the pot, lid and burner.

This may be a stupid question but I figured this thread it a good place to put it.
How do you know the capacity of a Jambalaya pot? I had several pots given to me that need to be cleaned up and reseasoned. I want to get a burner (or 2) and lid but don't know what size to buy. I have measured them by filling them with water but the sizes seem odd:
12g cast aluminum, 13g cast iron, 11g cast iron, 15g cast iron, and 28g cast iron
Would the burner on the left accommodate a few sizes with the flared top? Any help or advice would be appreciated.
