Concord block burner?

Does anyone use one of these? It looks like it might be a decent budget burner, but wondered what you all thought.

That will work very well at 100k btu

Comparing it to the GasOne I got for about $20 more on prime day, the burner itself seems identical but the frame is 12.5 inches square instead of 15.75 and also 6.5 inches tall instead of 12.5. So I guess it depends on how big your kettle is and how much you like to bend over. But that sucker shouldn't have any trouble boiling 8 or 9 gallons.

I kinda like how compact it is.

I just brewed for the first time with one of these - only issue is that you'll need a wind blocker. Also, it gets pretty hot below the burner - there's not a lot of clearance between the burner and whatever it's sitting on, so make sure there's something heat proof below it. Mine was sitting on a 3/8" thick tile with a silicone sheet underneath, and the table it was on still got pretty hot. Otherwise, it worked like a charm.

Yeah! I've brewed twice with it now and worked great. It did leave a char mark on my cement garage floor. I don't care about that though. Decent product though.
