The Bayou Classic High Pressure Banjo Burner is one of Bayou Classic’s most powerful cast iron burners. THE BG14 DOES INCLUDE THE ORIFICE, AIR SHUTTER AND AIR SHUTTER ATTACHMENT SCREWS.  This cast iron burner is the same burner found in the KAB4 outdoor propane burner. The BTUs of this burner can produce over 210,000 BTUs plus! In order to obtain a nice, crisp flame, you will need at least 20 PSI regulator. For best results, we suggest purchasing a regulator (7850, 0-30 PSI) and a propane hose (7906, 7908, 7910) OR the 5HPR30 Regulator hose kit. The face of this cast iron burner measures 10 inches in diameter. Again, the orifice, air shutter and screws are included.

Customer Question:

I recently bought a 0-30 PSI regulator (along with a hose and a banjo burner) from you. I think I have a problem with the regulator. When I connect it I have to physically hold it up to allow gas to flow. When I release it, the gas flow almost stops, leaving me with a flame about 1/8" tall, barely keeping alight. It works fine when I hold it up, though. Obviously I can't stand there and hold it up for 3 hours while I brew...
 

Is this a bad regulator? Have you ever heard of this? I tested this on two LP tanks, one 30#, another 10# (a brand new Blue Rhino). I think the regulator female screw connection to the tank is not quite right or something.

Resolution:

Never mind - I figured it out. User error! ;-)  I was leaving the regulator open which was causing the OPD protection to trip, stopping any gas from flowing. If I turn the regulator all the way left (to the - sign), turn on the gas, then open the regulator I can light it and get a monstrous flame!
Thanks, and Happy Holidays!! :-)
