Looking to move from the hob to a more powerful gas stove. I've had a look online and get disheartened by reviews. I need something sturdy with enough wattage for a full 26L boil. Any recommendations?
Also, is there a more environmentally friendly option?
Cheers.
I was looking at both of these before the summer and went with the first only because the second was out of stock.

Give them a shout and describe what you're looking for - they're really helpful. Based in Bangor too.
Most pics on see on here and UK forums peeps are using the square one
I use the large square one to boil 45l from mash out temp to boiling in about 15 min. I turn the gas on when there is about 15 liters in the boil kettle which helps to shorten the time should handle 26l with ease.
Electric heating in a heavily insulated kettle would be more eco friendly.
Don't get the shitty regulator: (http://www.gasproducts.co.uk/acatalog/ha118k.jpg)
get something like this: (http://www.gasproducts.co.uk/acatalog/HA118f.jpg), which is bombproof. Same price.
I've two of the shitty ones, and one is used for spare parts for the first that keeps breaking. SHITE!
The one I use has to be kept on the gas bottle with a bungee chord.
I have strong feelings on this subject.
