This is the Blaze power burner I put in my out door kitchen. I can do a small batch or boil a 4 gallon pot.

That is an awesome burner. I looked at some of those higher end models but decided against them at least for the time being. Maybe when I win the Gold Medal Giveaway and select the Blaze 3 Burner Grill to replace the Weber I'll treat myself to something in that class.

Hey, does anyone know if I want a high or low-pressure regulator? Maybe jfmorris ?

Attjack - here's the page I found with the most detail on this model:

It appears that it comes setup for Natural Gas, but with the alternate orifices (nozzles) for LP gas included in the box. They tell you to call a licensed person to do the conversion, but the conversion should be as simple as unscrewing one set of brass nozzles and replacing with the other. There should be one under each burner.

I would imagine this will use a LOW PRESSURE regulator for LP. Natural Gas when plumbed into your home is always low pressure. Most RV's that have a cook top, which is one application they suggest for this unit, have the regulator at the LP tank up on the front of the RV, with the gas plumbed back to the stove and LP/electric refrigerator at low pressure.

The big burner is only 11,942 BTU, and the small burner is only 3,412 BTU. That is not like my turkey fryer burners that are all 55,000 to 65,000 BTU's, and is less than the burners in my Weber Genesis, that are around 12,000 BTUs each. So - definitely low pressure in this application.

If you get a low pressure regulator like the typical grill uses, worst case is you find the flames are too low, but I think you will be fine. I assume you are just putting an LP tank up under the counter?

[Attjack]

Yes, I will have a 20 pound tank direct the counter for as long as I'm on propane. Anytime I need more power I can bust out my turkey fryer burner and hook it to the tank. I'm hoping the 12000 BTUs will will sufficent for everyday use.

[jfmorris]

Attjack you will be fine. Most gas cooktops in the kitchen max out at 10000 to 12000 BTU's. A few have one burner that gets up to 20000, and most have a smaller simmer burner that is 5000-6000 or less.

[Attjack]

Sweet.

More info on high versus low pressure:

Looks like grills and cookers up to about 50,000 BTU's total use low pressure regulators.

Sounds like he's covered!
