Sabco Burner

Wed Feb 01, 2006 12:50 pm

Does anyone have any experience with the Sabco burner?

I have a scrap keg that I am going to convert to a boil kettle so I can move up to 10 gallon batches from 5 gallons. My current turkey fryer burner is too small to hold a keg and the Sabco burner looks nice and the price isn't bad.

My plan is to build a three tier system using my current boil kettle as the HLT, a 10 gallon cooler for the MT, and the keg for my boil kettle. All gravity fed.

Not familiar with the burner, but it looks good and the price is fair.

I have the Sabco burner and have been using it for about 4 years. Great heat output and high quality construction. It will easily boil a 10 gallon batch (and boil it over if you aren't careful). I would definitely recommend it.

Prosit!

I boil using a similar turkey fryer... the price is similar... only difference is the "saftey" features. I find them extranious, I find it difficult to take my keg off it when it is full as it is, I think it would be very difficult to accidently fall off the burner.

I use this very similar 200000 btu burner by King Kooker which is a little cheaper. there are a few places that sell it with varying prices.

If I'm not too late, I bought a burner from www.Steinfillers.com
The sucker is 7" in diameter and the stand is 10" in diameter. I gave it a test run today, I get 6 gallons to a rolling boil in less than 20 min. The burner was $56.
