Where to buy a burner in town?

Post by vgoreham » Tue Mar 24, 2015 9:11 pm

I've not homebrewed for a while (over a year - what a shame!). I was getting my stuff together for a brew this weekend and I need a new burner. What do you guys think my best option is in town?

Blichmann is a good option if you want a quality, long lasting burner. Noble Grape sells them.

Dave sells the Dark Star burner. I can't speak to quality/performance, but I think others on the forum have used this burner. https://www.everwoodavebrewshop.com/pro ... ar-burner/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I've been happy with my propane burner from kent for 5 and 10 gallon batches. Easy n cheap. Might be looking to sell it, but not until I get my electric stuff all set up, which may be a bit.

I have been thinking about getting a Blichmann or a while now. Are they worth the cost?

I've got the Bayou Classic KB06 which is great, same burner as the Blichmann. Dexter is selling one. Link below.
As for the Darkstar Burner. I bought one but sold it. It does the trick for 5 gallons without a issue. 10 gallons is pushing the burner to it's limits and altho it will do it, if there is a descent breeze will kill the performance. With that being said a wind breaker for any setup would be recommended.
