These 44 Jet Propane Jet Burners are for those guys looking for a burner that boils super hot and can even be used for roofin’ tar or asphalt. The 44 Jet Propane Jet Burner can get to those super hot temperatures even with a low pressure regulator. The 44 Jet Propane Jet Burner produces approximately 10,000 BTUs per jet with a 10 PSI regulator. So you can still achieve THE MINIMUM of 100,000 BTUs with this 44 Jet Propane Jet Burner.
I tried to get it up right but I guess I am not that smart. lol
Anyway that is the jist of it as it stands now, I may switch to 1/4" Aluminium on sides and 3/8" aluminium on bottom angled piece to help distribute the heat and last longer, not sure yet. If I do stainless it will be 1/8" on sides and 1/4" on bottom. The tank will hold 120 gallons but will only use 60-70 gallons of water on a boil so as not to roll it over the top once the crawdads go in. I want to get water boiling in around 20-25 minutes and recover fairly quick when the crawdads go in. Any input and suggestions are welcome
Looks like about 100 gal. That's about 800 lbs. Each deg temp rise would need about 800btu per hour. To raise water temp to boiling, say 140 deg, would take 110,000 btu per hour. Times 3 for a 20 minute boil = 330,000 btu burner total.
If it's tourist season, how come I can't shoot 'em?
Thanks Pete for the calculations. I was close but that helps to narrow it down to what i need. What do you think about the metal thickness on the bottom of the pot being 1/4" thick stainless? Is that over kill and will 3/16" suffice? Also on the remaining cabinet how thick stainless should that be? will an 1/8" be good enough? it wont get the level of heat the bottom plates will. Any help on design or whatever would be greatly appreciated
