Anyone successfully using a banjo or multi-jet burner for boiling crawfish? I'm interested in a quiet propane setup. I'd be willing to sacrifice a little on boiling time, but I would be hoping for something close (or faster!) to the double jets I have been using.

I’m torn. I like the sound of a jet burner.

I get the nostalgia, but it can get old. No one can hear themselves talk, no one can hear music, etc.

I did read the old thread. I wondered if anyone else had taken the leap since then.

Get a 60psi regulator for a banjo burner and it will be faster than normal but not faster than a jet burner.

To hell with a regulator, I'm straight old school needle valves again. Full power, Captain!

Buy a rocket pot. Leave burner on low.

I use a banjo, it is still loud but not mind numbing loud. Also, the time difference is not that much more, they are efficient.

Looking to natural gas burners. At our fishing camp we have a natural gas line ran to the camp (for stoves and such) and made a hookup connection downstairs for the burner. It is super quiet, but does take longer to the water boiling.

I don't have a NG line/hookup that I can use, so I have to stick to propane.

Just get a banjo burner set up for Propane. I have one set up for Nat Gas. I modified a single jet that I got from WalMart With some parts from the hardware store to suit my needs. I'm sure you can do it with propane.
