Using Natural Gas for Seafood Boil

I started using NG to boil about a year ago. I love it for all the obvious reasons. The ease of use, not having to hassle with tanks and it is not nearly as loud as a propane set up. Also, I did not notice a drop in performance.

Here is a link to the rig i bought. Works great! Bayou Boiler LINK /

Yes. It can be done. Volume is your friend here. I have a ball valve with a quick disconnect. The gas line the quick disconnect is connected to is 1"

The quick disconnect is a true 3/4" inside diameter. The hose I use is a 3/4" Fill-Rite brand diesel/gas transfer hose. It has a ground wire going through it for static discharge (probably not necessary) but I bought it because it had NPT fittings on both ends of the hose, it was heavy duty, 20ft long and built tough. Cheap too. Another 3/4" ball valve leads to a galvanized 12" long 3/4" pipe connected to an eBay 32 jet wok burner. It heats up quickly and throws a huge blue flame. I boil faster than propane and at a cheaper cost. It's quieter too


I used a turkey frier frame. Welded a new base in to bolt the burner to.

The link says it’s $349.....almost an OT baller’s favorite price.

I would need to get a piece of thin pipe the goes around my pot to keep the heat in.

A simple cheap fix is put a steel 55 gallon drum around it and cut it to the height you need.

My pot has a bigger OD than a 55 gallon drum..... I checked.

Thanks!!!
