I use this burner in my homebrew set up. It easily produces enough heat to bring ~12gal of liquid to a nice boil fairly quickly. The stand, obviously, can support all that liquid weight plus the weight of the keg that I use for my brew kettle, more than 120 pounds! Really-great product; and no assembly required.

I like the short legs. A big heavy pot doesn't have far to get to the ground. I put it on flat concrete in my back yard.

The instructions hardly seemed to apply. 95% of the assembly indicated had already been done. If you barely have a clue, then yes, the last 4 items (2 screws, air intake adjuster, gas pipe) might take a minute to figure out, but if that's the case you shouldn't be in charge of this monster anyway.

Putting it on full blast is, well, a blast. Like a small jet engine. Adjusting the air intake to get the perfect blue flame is fun.

Don't know how easy this would be to put on a simmer in a breeze, the flame can be invisible in bright sunlight and could easily blow out on low power.

But I just want it to blast heat energy into water. 3 gallons from 60 degrees to a roiling boil in 10 mins. Nice.

Be careful, as you would naturally expect to be with something that smacks out up to 150,000 BTU.

Keep away from small ponies, children and cuddly toys.

I might dock it one star for a slightly wobbly burner (not a load bearing piece though) and poor manual (hardly needed). But I'm not going to because it does exactly what I want at a great price.

Update, 8/31/08: I bought this for $40. It seems to be much more than this today.

After using the product for a while, I think a windshield feature would be useful: the flame will blow out in a breeze.

I would probably pick Bayou Classic SP10 High-Pressure Outdoor Gas Cooker, Propane instead.

Great for home brewers.

I purchased this burner for my brew kettle (converted keg). This burner heats

quickly, keeps a good boil and the keg fits on the stand perfectly. The burner is a pit "picky" regarding the air/fuel mixture I had to find a sweet spot on the regulator and the air inlet on the burner. Once I got it the air intake adjusted in everything was fine.

Honest reviews on Bayou Classic Single Burner Patio Stove - 16 in.

The product is wonderful. It will heat up cooking oil very fast and the flame is easy to adjust. Stews or frying this product is the one you need. Only down side is the height. Either put it on cement blocks, buy the expensive 25.00 legs, or weld some legs on yourself but it is rather short. Very durable and well made construction. It didnt wobble even with me sitting on it.

This burner came mostly assembled with no damage or missing parts.

I brew beer with this burner and can bring 6-7 gallons to a boil in a flash. It impossible to get a good flame with the knob opened all the way, but once you find the sweet spot it is more than enough for most uses. Based on the pictures I imagined this to have better wind protection than it does. The square box frame is too far from the burner to help in this regard. I probably would now select a different model, but at least it does make stuff hot in a hurry.
