I think its a load of bull, unless of course they replaced the stickers on the regulator ( claiming to be 10psi) I own and operate a 10" burner, that actually can deliver 220,000 btu but with a 40psi reg. and i doubt that even if that little shrimp burner could handle a huge boil even if it claims 22,000btu with the 4" square that the output would occupy

that burner is the same size (not the same burner) I use to boil 60l at a time. Takes about 15-20mins to get to boil from sparge.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

You put a good big diaphragm on an LP reg and you can do up 1M BTU/hr+ on 4" wc (0.14 psi)
