If you chose to order from Top Food Service, just order one that is for the appropriate fuel. If you are using propane, make sure you order the LP version. It will work with you Honeywell controller. When I build another sculpture, I will be using the burners in the link I provided with my gas valve. I'm not in any way affiliated with Bayouclassicdepot.com nor do I know how they rate as a company. The price seemed competitive and this is really the more appropriate burner. Eric Chris,

It is very helpful to those of us attempting the dame. I have a Honeywell controller and will be using my BCS PID to control the burner for the HLT. However, in reviewing the Jet Burners from TopFoodService.com, they make no distinction of High or Low Pressure. Other sites show Low Pressure models for Jet Burners, but they are two to three times the cost. Does it matter with Jet Burners if they are ported for High or Low Pressure? (Propane) If you have your paperwork from your purchase, could you please share the exact the model that you purchased? After seeing your in action on the video, I would be happy to have the exact same burner you show. Thanks again for all of the valuable information. Cheers! Thanks for sharing your build information.

I am still debating not only between the Banjo and the Jet burner but if I go to the Jet burners should I get the 10 tip or the 23 tip. I have read that the 23 tips are a little hard to control the flame on the propane version. Some think that the 10 tip is more than sufficient. I wil be trying a HERMS set up where the heat exchanger is in the HLT so I need good flame control there so that I can regulate the temp easily.. The Boil kettle could be bigger I suppose. The Mash Tun is a cooler and I am using the HERMS heat exchanger so I don't need a burner for the Mash Tun. What would give me the best flame control for the HLT/HERMS heat exchanger?

You may need to tighten some of the jets when they arrive on the burner but I have not had any problems with them. I purchase my jet burners from topfoodservice.com.

I am brand new to this forum. To my obsolute surprise I found your video and test between the 2 burner styles which was a hughe help to me in decided to either stick with the Jet burners or switch back to a Banjo burner. I currently use 3 propane burners to heat 3 lobster cooking pots filled with a slat water mixture. Each pot has 30 gallons of water at air temp when we lite them each morning. For the past 4 years I have used a 20 jet cast iron burner. When I purchased them I was told they were 200,000 BTU's. (I replaced high pressure 3 ring cast iron banjo style burners in hopes of getting a quicker boil and a faster recovery time once lobsters were dropped in the pot) I gained about 20-30 mins until the burners needed to be cleaned or reamed back out to get back to full efficiency as boil overs and other things would begin to clog the jets. I am confused between the 20 & 23 jet burners as it appears the 23 jet one's are rated at 175,000 BTU's and the 20"s are rated at 200,000 BTU's. (It must have something to do with the orifice size. I use a #74 reamer to clean my burners so it you do the math 20 x #74 orifice) My question is where did you purchase your burners and do you really know if they put out 175,000 BTU? I had found prices from $44 to $144 but can not locate the $44 dollar place anymore. Happy brewing!!! Hello gbrewer. I am brand new to this forum.

You will not need to make any modification if you order the appropriate ones from the beginning. Just give the vendor a call and see what they sold you. They come as NG and Propane.

How can i tell whether it is intended for LG or NG ? I've heard there are specific orifice sizes (drill size) for each. I intend on building an outdoor wok cooker, and ran into this website, which has much info. It only has the large 1/2" Female NPT and the array of jet nozzles Thanks in advance.
