My power just went off while brewing....

[gstrawn]

Couldn't think of worse timing. Guess I need to get me a propane burner....

If you had a gas bbq with a side burner,that'd do in a pinch.

Stein Bier anyone?

Instead of a propane burner, you can always put that money towards paying your electric bill...

For a 5+ gal boil? You're nuts!

Some of those side burners have more BTU than stovetops.

Mind the weight tho'.

I didn't know that. I have a fairly nice grill and the side burner is wimpy as hell. My bad!

I've used the grill side burner for decoction mashing, works great

Thats what she said

Not good, hope your in good terms with your neighbors. Go see if you can find a burner.

The power for my whole neighborhood not just my lack of initiative for paying bills! Thankfully I wasn't able to respond here because it came back on within 30 minutes and I was waaay busy. It happened right after my sparge and I was ready to boil. All is well. Massive brew day

5 gallons american amber
5 gallons american hef
5 gallons christmas apple ale

Thanks for the concern!

Rauchbier anyone?

Fix't.

Sorry to hijack this thread even further, but the side burner of my BBQ while wimpy (it is quiet), is too powerful to heat our steam canning pot. Even on its lowest setting, which barely looks like a simmer, it causes pressure in the pot to go above the level that the pressure relief valve can handle.

I've boiled 2G batches on the burner with the simmer setting too, in winter.

YMMV!

If I was depending on an electric stovetop to brew with though, I think I would go with the "build a fire" route. The more primitive the better , at least while brewing

You still home? Hit the store, man! If you can't get the turkey cooker, a 2 burner camp stove works, depending on pot size.

Exactly the reason (one of them) I have 3 turkey fryers
