I have used similar cookers for many years. My frequent lakeside shindigs feature several charcoal grills for the main event and guests are responsible for rabbit food and desert. I use my cooker for crawfish boils or sides like big batches of french fries or corn on the cob. But it is getting old and rust happens. Time for a new one.This cooker was not difficult to assemble despite the sparse instructions. Then I looked in the box for the legs. None! My old cooker is 16" tall and 20" wide. This new one looks scrawny next to it. It is only 6" tall and 14" wide (corner to corner). Iām looking into putting extension legs on it.I use my old cooker on the ground where it is perfect for big tall pots and is plenty stable. The legs of this new cooker are much too short to work on the ground. And, it would be far too unstable to hold 5 gallons of screaming hot oil. To test how it would work on a table top (without risking my table), I set it on an upside-down trash can with a pot containing 1 gallon of water. Before the water started to boil, I noted the plastic trash can was sagging. My IR thermometer showed the plastic was 208°F and climbing. Also, the cooker's paint was turning to white smoke.Pros:1. A good cooker for smaller jobs.2. Best uses - steaming seafood or cooking breakfast at base camp.3. Low price.4. Comes with a propane hose and valve.Cons:1. Too narrow to be stable under big pots.2. Too short. Could start a grass fire or melt a table.3. Too small and underpowered for big jobs like deep-frying turkeys.4. Valve is counterintuitive.5. Paint is not heat resistant??

With just a couple parts to assemble this propane burner was ready to go in a few minutes. I hooked up a little 5lb propane tank which is what I would probably use in the backcountry as an outdoor cooking setup outside my FWD Camper which has its own interior 2 burner stove. When I'm with a bigger group and my slide-in camper is "base camp" I wanted to have an outdoor option for cooking larger meals, as it can get pretty cramped in the camper (it's a two cook maximum inside). This burner is solid and well built, no nonsense, and gets the job done. I was surprised how fast it got the boiling bubbles going in a medium sized kitchen pot full of water. At full blast, the flame is intense. Much bigger than a typical home stove gas burner and more like a professional kitchen. It's made for cooking big meals and that means big pots. I did notice that a 7" diameter pot is the smallest vessel that will sit with any stability on the burner. And I would recommend 8" or bigger pots. If you're having a crawfish boil or making soup for 10 out on the back forty, you want this. It came with everything but the propane tank and the food.

Nice and heavy duty without being heavy. I can take this anywhere and can even use as an emergency heat source (boiling a pot of water). The regulator allows me to adjust as needed. For the price it is a great addition to your outdoor cooking experience.

This Bestfire single propane burner is an excellent addition to an outdoor camping kitchen.Your not going to start an oyster catering business with this burner but when you need a heavy high output single burner for a large quart pot this burner will heat the water fast.The burner is cast iron and the stand is steel, albeit a little thin. I don't think I would trust it with a 5 gallon stock pot.The adjustable propane regulator is a nice addition, however there is a bit of a learning curve because you turn the regulator knob counter clockwise to lower the heat and turn it off.I suggest attaching the piston to the hose and then to the burner or you will crack down on the air valve djuster and need to wrenches to readjust.Good value for a cast iron high output burner and an adjustable regulator.

First off, I own a 200,000 BTU banjo cooker. This ain't it (at all)Pros:Small, light weight, super easy to take car camping or tail gating - built "well enough" for occasional light duty use. I saw no problems with the construction. The PRV does a fine job of temperature control & No piezo igniter just means one less thing to fail.Cons:Not 100,000 BTUs (not even close) . This cooker put out less heat that my 30,000 BTU Camp Chef burners. I'd guess this is putting out between 20,000 - 25,000 BTUs and even less in windy conditions. Not an issue, 20,000 BTUs is perfectly fine for the uses listed above.The cook top dimensions are 10" x 10" not 10" x 14" Not sure how this is over looked. Again smaller is better. I recommend this cooker for folks who are not looking for a more powerful (and larger) cooker.
