Bayou Classic Banjo Outdoor Stove with Hose Guard

This is very nice, it arrived quickly & is just what I wanted. The quality is very good & I am very happy with my purchase. Note: I myself & I believe many others would appreciate more environmentally friendly packaging materials used by manufacturers. It is something we should all be thinking about.

It has the BTUS, but my only suggestion would be to reduce the gap dimension between burner and pot. Efficiency would be greatly increased. I will have someone cut and weld the bars down about 1.5". Otherwise super!

Bought this for homebrewing. Works great! The only deficiency is the pot is a little shakey on the stands, but I moved my 10 gallon pot slightly to one side and it's plenty stable. Not that big of a deal. Heats wort up fast and I used less than 1 lb. of propane for a 60 minute boil.

For home brewing and general boiling this is the best burner I've ever tried. It'll go through some propane in a hurry but I think it's a fair trade off.

Everything as described, the price was %20 cheaper than any other sight. Delivery was quicker than planned. Experience was so good, I bought 3 of them.

This beauty was built to last, and really throws the heat. Gets a good size pot of water boiling in almost no time at all. I highly recommend this unit to all.

Ideal cooker for large outdoor boiling or steaming. Takes a little practice learning to start the flame but once it gts going, it produces a great deal of heat. Sturdy frame and excellent burners should provide years of service.

Pros: If you're looking for a very powerful outdoor propane stove, this is absolutely the one to get. With 210,000 BTU's, it has 4X to 8X the output of most other burners. The 16.5" diameter frame, welded from 3/8" solid steel rods, provides a very strong and stable one-piece support for huge pots. It also makes the frame easy to modify to create a great and powerful outdoor wok stove too, which is what I really wanted but couldn't find anywhere at a reasonable price Cons: The clearance between the burner and the top of the support frame is about 5 inches. This is an inefficient design that wastes a lot of heat, especially with pots less than 16" in diameter. It would be a much more efficient and versatile design if the clearance was lowered by about 3 inches. Also as designed, the stove cannot be used for outdoor wok cooking since the 5" clearance is way too high and inefficient, especially with heat-dispersing round-bottomed woks which also require a wok ring, thus raising the clearance even higher. Pot Solution: A very simple 3" cut and re-welding of the vertical rods by anyone who does welding repairs will make this a fantastic outdoor stove that's very powerful and much more efficient. Wok Solution: Have a welder cut the 4 inside vertical rods so they are just 2 inches above the burner and cut the outside vertical rods about 1/2" from the top. Weld a 5" horizontal rod to each of the four sets of vertical rods as the new pot support and weld a rod or ring around the top of the four outside vertical rods creating a 16.5" diameter wok support. This brings the bottom of most round bottom woks to about two and one-half inches from the burner (but still off the horizontal pot support). This versatile design is perfect for my 22" wok and easily supports woks 18" up to 26" yet still supports my Bayou 44-quart stock pot/turkey fryer inside the wok ring. Fact: This stove can use up a lot of propane quickly. While some reviewers have classified this as a "Con", it's really simple physics. A standard BBQ 20-pound propane tank contains 4.73 gallons equivalent to 433,000 BTU's. That means at the maximum 210,000 BTU output, this stove can use up a full tank in about 2 hours. However, if you turn the stove down to the output equivalent to other less powerful stoves, a tank of propane will last just as long as those other stoves. But with this stove, you can dial up the power when you want/need it. Bottom Line: I've done a lot of research and comparisons before buying this stove. If you want a very powerful outdoor stove or a high-output wok stove (with a little modification) for true stir-frying at a reasonable price, this is the one to get.

I owned one of these burners in a different housing once before. It I was unsuccessful at finding this product until I found Wayfair. This burner is worth having at any price, but Wayfair has made it quite affordable even with the shipping. I wasn't happy about the housing it came in, so I did some "work? on it. I cut the pot holding tines off to 1.5 inches above the collar, then reversed the bars and welded them back on where there was no tines sticking past the collar. This did two major things for me. 1 ? my medium sized wok fits it perfectly, and 2 ? it drops the distance from the flame to a normal pot so the heat doesn't dissipate uselessly. It also means you will need a LOT less gas to cook with. I wish Wayfair had a "video review? like a lot of the web sites I use do these days. You might be interested in knowing my local weld shop charged me $20.00 to weld the tines, I made the cuts using my reciprocating saw with a couple of metal blades. So the added cost of modification was nothing worth mentioning. This is the only burner you can find that will produce the amount of heat dispersed over the space it has. There just isn't another design that will do the job. I have seen and used the "jet? style burners. They are only good if you are boiling water, not good from much of anything else. One last word here. Just to let you know, I also have one of the burners (just the burner as a replacement part with no housing) in my "wish list?. That should indicate to you how much I believe in this particular burner design. 3 Stars because of housing design. 5 stars because of burner design.

Very Nice. Best Price.
