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.

Just click on the "photos" link at the very top of the page. This was from when I first implemented my mash tun. It has been revised a bit but it is the same idea. The new revision has two rods supporting the sparge ring. I posted a picture for you in the Gallery. Just click on the “photos” link at the very top of the page.

I have recently added the autosprage and have not been completely sold on it. I have not had the results I would have expected the first few runs with it. Prior to that, I custom built sparge ring. That seemed to work very well. I will get some pictures up for you to see. I have recently added the autosprage and have not been completely sold on it.

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.
