Single element burner
    #6719849 - 03/28/07 11:34 AM (16 years, 10 months ago)

My current electric stove just doesn't work right with my pressure cooker. I can't really afford to install a nice gas stove, so I've had to examine other options...

My number one choice: A single element gas burner.

Anyone have experience with one of these? How long (on average) does a standard propane tank last?

Those will work fine- those small colman tanks last about 3 hours on high, but I am sure you can attach any size tank you want. I had a problem with trying to fit a PC on a stove that it was too small for- so I went to walmart and snagged a single electric burner for 19.99$ and it works fine.

Another thought would be to buy a burner for deep frying turkeys, they run off of a large propane tank... They work nicely for all-grain brewing as well. You can find them pretty often at garage sales. Of course this would have to be used outside.

These work like a champ.
Shop around locally.
They can be found @ BBQ supply, OutDoor stores & the like.

I'm in the same situation you are. Another fellow told me to get a turkey fryer it will do the job that I am looking for. He said they're only around $30. You can get them from Home depot, lowes, menards, walmart, k-mart, target, ect. It looks almost exactly like the one in agar's picture except it is a single instead of a double. I would suggest using one of those instead of what you were going to use because its a hell of alot cheaper. But just make sure you get the stand because they sell the stand with the pot which are like $60 and you're not even going to need the pot unless you use it for something else.

I would recommend an electric element over gas, especially if you plan to move up to filter patch bags. The flame from a gas burner can curl around the kettle and up the sides, melting your bags that might be touching the surface. You won't have that problem with electric. Gas is fine, but watch that you don't turn it up too high.

Went to my local hunting/fishing store (Outdoor World), and HERE'S what I ended up buying for $55 + tax... not a bad deal, IMO.  It's plenty big enough for my PC, and can use the same propane tank as a standard grill.

Since I camp a lot, propane is a tad more practical than electric... and the burner will get double duty as an extra camp stove! :thumbup: :cool:

I prefer GAS over electric.
It gets hotter, faster & has quick accurate heat(flame)control.
I have natural gas grill top in my kitchen.
and, GAS hot water heater & furnace.
And, piped it into my shop, just for PC'ing.
I PC with 2 AA 941's & have not had the problem RR mentions.
True, with a smaller base thin walled PC, that could be an issue.
If you turned it up FULL BLAST.
But, is simple to remedy, by lowering the flame.

Heating a PC quickly seems desirable... but...

...I always wonder (superstitiously) if faster heat-up times contribute to more popped kernels in my WBS (or any grain, for that matter)? Anyone know?

(...am i hijacking my own thread...? :lol: )

IF anything faster heat reduces popped kernels.. Because part of the time getting up to pressure is waiting on heat... Its not as hot but its hot for much longer while its building up to temp..

Also there is a reason professional chefs use gas ranges instead of electric.. Constant heat that is predictable, as well as hot nearly INSTANT.

I soak spawn grains 24 to 36 hours.
Never had a problem with bursting grain.
With a fast, or slow heat up.

Oh man, I couldn't follow that at all! ... but I hope you're right. Maybe I should have asked: "What causes popped kernels?" instead!

I always thought the heat and pressure were related in a one-to-one (linear) way... any change in one instantly causes a change in the other.

However, IF there's a bit of lag between them... that is, if the pressure has to "catch up" to the heat, then I can understand why kernels burst. Been a few decades since I had any physics in this area, though...

If the heat and pressure are directly related however, then it seems like kernels that were prone to bursting would do it regardless of heating speed.

Anywayz, what do I know? You physics majors probably call this a no-brainer though... can anyone accurately elaborate?
