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:

get something like this: , 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.
