Bayou Classic makes a good one. Just be carefull to get one with a sturday base, and lot of the tripod ones are pretty unstable
As for how many BTU's, what size pot are you planning on using? http://www.thebayou.com/Pages/Print_...alog(2012).pdf

Go to Amazon and read some of the customer reviews on these products. Many people use them for things like canning and home brewing. I think most of the folks buying them for this purpose get 60,000 btu, but say since they burn so hot, they're not good for much else. Camp Chef makes a 2 burner stove that has a 30,000 btu and a 60,000 btu burner for $100.

I have a bayou classic model KAB6 about 135.00 bucks. I use it with a 63 qt stainless pot and it will do what you are questioning about. I think the btu's are over 300,000 so I can assure you it will do a low country boil, boil peanuts, or whatever..
hope this helps... |

The next question is stainless or aluminium pot? What do you guys suggest for beans and do heating beans on a burner require a different pot than boiling water for various uses?

I always use Cast Iron for outdoor cooking, but I don't think the type of pot really matters that much.

I have the Bayou stainless steel model 1114. It is rated for a 100 qt. pot and boils water in a 60 qt pot at zero degrees in 20 mph winds. We use if for boiling chicken at our little park.

I have the KAB6 and love it but I'm usually doing boils using an 80 or 120 qt. If your pot is not too big get KAB4--these burners supply an even heat unlike jet and single burner, burners which concentrate the heat in the center of the pot. Actually put a hole in an aluminium pot with a jet type of burner.
