Burner recommendations
I am in the market for a new low pressure LPG burner. Something capable of achieving a rolling boil with an 80L batch, relatively easily. Allgrain.co.nz and brewshop.co.nz have some good looking ones in the $200-250 price range.

I have one of these. It is way overkill for my 50L pot so should be fine with 80L.

Looks good. Is the regulator compatible with standard New Zealand pow pressure LPG bottles?

I haven't had to modify mine in any way, I just use a regular 9kg LPG bottle. I don't know anything about the technical details with regards to compatibility but mine has been running fine for 3 years.

Looked at getting a a different Bayou burner over amazon just last week but the price was too expensive. Just for kicks, I checked out how much this unit would cost. It is $75 NZ but shipping is $100.
You can find a unit in NZ with the same burner and compatible regulator, but different frame, for about $130-$140 NZ.
Still, I so wish someone sold Bayou burners in NZ. They look great.

For anyone who is interested, I ended up investing in an adjustable regulator (0-10 PSI) to accompany my current Campmaster triple ring. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=899592801 this is the one I bought. I have high hopes and will post back here with a comparison vs. the factory regulator (1.5 PSI) that came with the burner.

It would be interesting to hear your results. I think I have read of people using these with up to 30 psi? Could this be correct? How safe could is this really?
I've got a two ring burner from ages ago that sees little use and i would love to repurpose it if possible.

from my experience a 3 ring is a pain to tune, wind up with soot on the pot base etc. I had one and went for a mongolian 23 tip instead, much better, it gets 80 l to the boil no trouble.

Regulator got lost in the mail. Typical. I have heard or read that the Mongolian burners can melt pots if they are too close to the base. Is that true?
