Which burner?

[tahoetavern]

So my kit is on the way.. Still need a burner though. I dot have the money for a Blichmann. Been looking at the dark star on NB. Just looked at some at Gander mountain as well. The dark star seems like a good deal at $39 with 54k BTU's. Looking for some advice. Is there a target number of BTU's I should get? Want to save money( but not take all day to boil 5 gal.) thanks

Check out amazon for Bayou Classic models.
I have the SP10 and am very happy with it.

I have 2 sq-14s that I like very much http://www.amazon.com/Bayou-Classic-SQ14-Single-Outdoor/dp/B0009JXYQ4.

Easy to control the flame and is plenty powerful for my typical 7 - 8 gallon starting boil volume.

I have this one from Bass Pro

I've seen it on sale for $29.99 a few times so far this year, which is what I paid for it. I've not had a problem with it in 3 batches.

+1 for the SQ-14. Been using them for years. I boil with a keggle and also make 10 gallon batches. Pretty heavy duty. Nice burner.

I went with the SQ14 off amazon. Thanks for all the help
