gas burner for outdoor brewing

[carterusm]

I've been brewing for a few months quite successfully now using a boiler i built using a couple of kettle elements, my wife has been quite patient with me taking over the kitchen up until she noticed all the wort dripping from the ceiling from the steam, so I'm gonna have to take it outside which suits me fine but I need a powerful burner to connect to calor gas.
does anyone have any ideas where to get such a thing?

To brew outside I run extension leads from my cooker socket and a downstairs plug. If I didn't have a carport I'd get a cheap gazebo to protect the kit from the rain.

I started off with one of these which worked very well, I did use it in the garage right at the door so not fully outside. I know a lot of people on this forum use these also.

I have since moved onto an imported Blichmann burner which whilst it was expensive is very fuel efficient and gets my 40L batches to the boil very very quickly.

Thanks Rhodesy, Thats exactly what I'm looking for.
Tried using extension leads Vacant but the leads started smoking after about 1/2 hour and thought it best not to try that again.
Thanks for your replies guys

Yep I've got one of them 7.5kw burners not tried it yet but heard great reviews about it

That burner is what I've been using for the last few years - when I first had it I used it outdoors, now I use it in my garage (after I managed to get enough room to brew in there!). When it's in the garage next to the up-and-over door (opened a bit for ventilation) and it's a windy day then it has blown out once or twice. But now I'm aware of this, as long as I keep the door shut at the other end of the garage then it stays lit and does the job very well.

you really need some sort of shroud around them type of burners if brewing outside.
the slightest bit wind plays havoc with them, making them unusable at times.

Ouch! Brew #75 coming up soon without any smoking. I do have RCDs on both just in case

I got a burner from maltmiller site. Can't fault it.

My gas burner used to blow out in the wind, so I made a shroud out of some old sheets of metal riveted together, the side where the gas pipe goes in has a tunnel shape and just sits loosely in place so I can lift it to light the flame.
