We weren't satisfied with selecting just any burner for the TopTier, so we developed and tuned our own! While many manufacturers claim an impressive BTU capability, all they're talking about is the input energy -NOT- the actual energy entering the pot! Isn't the whole point to heat wort not the atmosphere?
Our requirements?
High efficiency
Fast heating
Non rusting fume free stainless frame
Excellent outdoor flame stability
Quiet operation
Great low setting performance without yellow flame ( blackens bottom of pot)
Our Result:
A 72,000 BTU/hr burner that is a great blend of heating power and efficiency - and does so whisper quietly! In addition, low flame combustion is clean, wind performance is outstanding, and the heavy stainless construction is built to last a lifetime!
We also documented that the published BTU of competitive burners varied wildly from actual measured results. And measuring the performance is straightforward: simply run the burner for an hour at full power and measure the weight of the propane used in lb. Then multiply the weight in lb X 21,000 to get the burner rating in BTU/hr. For example. the Bayou Classic has a published rating of 180 KBTU/hr but only measured at 68 KBTU/hr!
TOPTIER FLOOR STANDING BURNER by Blichmann Engineering
The Blichmann Engineering TopTier Floor Standing Burner is a quiet low pressure unit that produces 72,000 BTU's, with a burner design very similar to the Hurricane Burner. Featuring solid stainless steel construction on the frame, this burner stand cannot rust (the burner element itself is cast iron). Fits any manufacturers pots up to 19.5" in diameter and up to 30 gallons. It is 17.5" across at the legs, and 9.5" tall.
This TopTier floor standing burner can be upgraded with an optional kit to fit the Blichmann TopTier modular brewing stand at a later date if desired. Includes a regulator and complete instructions. See below for optional leg extensions (to make the burner 24" tall) and stand mounting kit.
