Crawfish Burner Question
Posted on 4/23/18 at 3:41 pm
Posted on 4/23/18 at 3:41 pm
Not trying to blow up a propane tank here.
Just got a new burner from Bayou Classic (the double jet burner. It currently has a 30psi set up, but I took advice from old OB threads and bought the following to connect to my burner:
A. 60 PSI Regulator
Regulator
Specs: djustable High Pressure Propane Gas Regulator, 0-60 PSI Adjustable or Fixed, Liquid or Vapor LP Gas, Hand-Wheel, 3-5 GPH Liquid Capacity, 1/4 FNPT Inlet/Outlet/Gauge Port, UL Listed. MEGR-6120-60. Price/Each.
B. Red Knob
Acme Fitting
Specs: Type 1 Red ACME - 1-5/16" ACME x 1/4" M NPT
Wrench-less, user friendly, right hand connector with excess flow and a thermally sensitive sleeve
500,000 btu/hr maximum output capacity
Designed for all high pressure propane regulators up to 60 PSI
For use on large volume gas grills over 65,000 BTU/HR
Not for use with equipment requiring low pressure
C. Hi Pressure Hose
Hose
Specs: 10 Ft. Long
350-PSI Maximum Use
1/4" MNPT X 3/8" F Flare Brass Connector
This stuff isn't going to blow up in my face, is it? I don't think it will, but I can't find anything on Bayou Classic that says "don't use anything higher than 30psi with this burner". I figured some of you may know.
Burner specs:
Burner
18" Diameter Cooking Surface
12.5" Tall Welded Steel Frame
48" LPG Stainless Steel Braided Hose
0-30 PSI Adjustable Regulator
Designed to Safely Support Large Cooking Pots up to 162 Quarts

i dont think there is any benefit from a double jet to a single.

Regardless of the benefit, I now have the burner. Just want to make sure it doesn't blow up in my face

Nah you'll probably be good
Posted on 4/23/18 at 3:49 pm to Fonzarelli
That basically the same setup I have, with the exceptions that mine isn't stainless and instead of the red ACME fitting I have a brass straight-through tank fitting. I have used mine a lot and have yet to blow anything up.

You'll be fine.
Deaf. But fine.

I have a 60 psi as well that I used for years with my old burner
I recently bought the double jet burner from Bayou classic that comes with the 30 psi regulator
It took 18 minutes to get my pot to a rolling boil with the 60psi opened all the way up
It took 22 minutes to get my pot to a roiling boil with the 30 psi opened all the way up
80 qt pot filled up halfway on both boils
So not worth buying the new regulator IMHO

Too late
I've got a 100 qt pot, I'm sure the time difference will be a little greater with 10 extra qts in the pot (but, still, probably not by a ton).
Going to be a lot better than the 10psi single jet I was running that would take an hour+ to bring a boil.

Just know the tank will ice and potentially freeze, so put in water bucket or occasionally hose off

You have a dam nice setup.

Already do -- but thanks for the heads up!

No. I hate when everyone tries to tell me how they boil while I'm boiling
But, a couple of actual comments here:
1) Do you have your rig next to everyone? Why? Why not have it set up away from the people?
2) It's not on the entire time? Once the water is boiling and the crawfish are cooked, the burner is off for the soak. Conversations can resume then if no one can hear each other.

I am really excited. Getting some gas line tape to put the parts together, and using for the first time Sunday.

When pulling propane (over long period of time or at high PSI), the tank starts to freeze up (and will shut down your flow). Putting it in a bunch of water serves the purpose of not allowing it to freeze up (as it would have to freeze the entire container of water (think like an ice cube)).
Instead of spraying it down and throwing water all over your cooking area, you just put it in the bucket at the outset and prevent it from ever getting close.

Thanks. I've never experienced that. I've never boiled more than two batches though.
