Hey guys, I've done a few searches but I'm really drawing a blank here. I have a keggle almost ready to go but no heat source. I've got a plastic boiler that I'll be using as a HLT with two argos elements which works great but I've been given the marching orders to do the actual boil outside. (destroyed the kitchen walls last night)
As it stands it looks like I'll be going gas on the boiler for now at least( I can always change to electric). What I'm looking for is a burner that can give me enough power for a 5 gallon batch. I've been looking at this http://www.gasproducts.ie/acatalog/Large_Round_Gas_Boiling_Ring.html but it's quite a bit more expensive than some of the other 8.8kw burners but looks like it would fit under the kegs better than the square ones.
Also has anyone used one of those Paella burners?
I'd really appreciate the help, there seems to be so much conflicting info when it comes to gas unlike electricity.

find out this, on the bottom page :)
Do you mean the mammoth burner? Yea was looking at that as well. Will have to measure it out. Only thing I'm worried about is that with the skirt the burner might be too low under the keggle.
You have to ask seller about that, but IMHO is enough for keggle. :)
Edit:
I found description that 7 kW burner is enough for 70l pots etc.
When I was talking to Hamiltons recently, they reckoned a keg/pot would sit better on a square burner. I went for one with a flame failure device, as I brew in the door of the garage, but ffd makes it harder to hack the burner to push the jets up closer to the keg, which may or may not be necessary depending on the skirt of your keg.
I got a.big square jobby from Hamilton which I've never used if you're looking to buy one? Have the reg too
I'll definitely keep that in mind CARA. Got some planning/ decision making to do!
No bother, as I say brand new and I'll give ya a good price
