ARC Single Burner Propane Stove, 200,000BTU Cast Iron High Pressure Outdoor Propane Burner Cooker,16.5"Heavy Duty Square Stove, Great For Outdoor Cooking Turkey Fry,Seafood Boil,Homebrewing

I used this for the first time this past weekend. I have a dual burner fish cooker but I hardly ever use it as it is too big for small cookouts. I cooked fish for 7 and this thing is incredible. Has very hot flame, the structural of this cooker is solid as a rock. It is easy to use and very sturdy with my big cast iron fish cooker pot on it with 2 gallons of peanut oil in it. I only wish it had a push button striker on it to light it.

The burner itself is good and strong and solid. The assembly is sloppy. Mine had some bent metal, a broken tack weld, screws and bolts were loose, and I found this weird piece of iron slag inside the burner. The paint burned off on the first usage, like other reviewers, I'm repainting it with my own high temperature paint. It gets the job done, it's strong despite being made of Fairly thin metal, and with some maintenance and repairs and repainting, I think it will serve me well for a long time.

I’ve had two burners like this in the past, and this one has a much more significant heat output! It is terrific for frying turkeys or French fries for a crowd! The burners I’ve had in the past have not been able to keep oil at a sufficient temperature to fry a Turkey or do French fries when the outside temperature is below 45 or so. This one solved that problem.It is also very sturdy and stable - I’m way less concerned about a pot tipping over (big deal with oil frying) than I have been with my prior burners.I have three relatively minor concerns:1. The paint flakes off in the flame-exposed areas because of the heat (though I think this would happen with anything that is painted - only alternative would be Stainless Steel grating like a high end grill). This causes a bit of chemical smell over the first 2-3 burns, but should resolve after that.2. The gas output has some sort of safety control on it which means you need to fiddle a little bit before you get a decent flame. A bit annoying. I’m sure there is a trick to it, but I’ve only used this 10 times or so and all in winter, so I haven’t worked it out yet.3. The instruction manual is horribly poor... that might explain why I haven’t worked out 2 above yet.I would recommend this burner over anything that I’ve seen at Home Depot or Cabellas or similar.

good

So from reading the reviews. people said that this would boil water in 20 min for 60 QT pot.I was like well, we will test that!!! I filled a 60 QT pot, 5 inches from the top. Now that more water then I would normal ever fill a pot for a crab or crayfish boil or really anything. But what the heck!! So with the burner all the way open, here was go. 22 min is what it took to get to a rolling boil.. YES 22 min!!! i filled the pot right from the hose and turned on the gas... BAM 22 min. for the last few years with the little burners. it would take me about 1 hr and 45 min to get to a rolling boil on a 60 QT pot.
