Gas burner ring for 100L pot

[Haydnexport]

There is a foker large square boiling ring with Ffd , rated at 8.8kw , would that be good enough to get 80l boiling and would it benefit from the regulator that was linked ?

The large 8.8kw foker would be a great choice.

IMO it would benefit from a high flow regulator, its reaching the point where the standard 1kg (or so) per hour type may begin adding restriction; a 4kg/hr type would be a safer bet and even a 50mbar one rather than 37mbar. But I can't say for certain about that one linked to as I don't have it; its well OTT and it concerns me that the minimum rating is so much higher than you will need. I'd be happier if it was rated down to 50mbar or less.

[Haydnexport]

Right, is there a regulator that goes all the way down ? As I think the lowest that one is 7psi and 37mbar is 1 psi?

[Kev888]

They seem to no longer do the regulator that was popular, I'm sure there was a 50mbar high flow type. There is a 37mbar 4kg/hr one, which I'm sure would be fine but it would be nice to have 50mBar on tap just because its so well proven on here.

There is a 50-150mbar type which would be ample and a much more suitable range than the other adjustable one so looks like a very good choice to me... but it also looks like you have to buy and fit the POL connector separately (and outlet barb), which would depend on how happy you were to do that with high pressure gas fittings. Unless they would fit it for you, of course.

EDIT: there is this one on ebay. The range is way too large but goes down to zero so at least what you want will be in there somewhere, mine is like that; its okay if you are gentle with the knob.

I use the 50-150 mBar adjustable one on my 11KW paella burner . . . does the job very well.

And the double ring burner boils 130L of water/wort with no issues . . .but I do have a [url=http://forum.craft%20brewing.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2948&p=38328]complete heat shroud[/url]

When I was gas I had the Blichmann burner, it done the job superbly. I still have it sitting in the garage though should get round to selling it.

how much do you want for it? i looked into shipping one from the US last month, would cost more in postage than the burner itself costs!

[Haydnexport]

That heat shroud looks ace, and I've got a fabricator that lives 3 houses down from me ! What's the optimal distance from the pot for the paella burner please aleman ?

[Aleman]

No idea about optimal, I had to go with what would fit because of the 3" centre drain, sorry

Paella burners are designed to have the paella pan resting right on top of them, so you'll want a stand that holds the pot as close to the burner as possible. I have my 50L boiler (30-40L wort) sat right on top of mine, but the weight of 80L will probably be too much for the legs. Certainly I wouldn't risk it anyway.

Haydnexport, if you're interested, I will soon be selling my gas setup, consisting of a Foker 8.8kw burner with regulator and my Blichmann clone burner stand.
