What to Consider when Buying Propane Burners
<!-- @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } A:link { so-language: zxx } -->
In a bid to be environmentally-friendly and for the sake of convenience, most outdoor lovers, campers, picnickers and barbecue lovers are now opting for propane burners for cooking their outdoor meals. Coal and firewood were the norm previously and though slightly cheaper they are more bulky and cumbersome, are more tasking, and involve much dirt. Enter propane - a clean source of heat - just a single cylinder can serve several outings. These burners are easily regulated meaning that one has more control over the heat which is necessary for cooking. So, as it seems, it is now a case of good riddance to the old and overused barbeque pits.
So what does one look for in propane burners? The thing first is obviously the amount of heat the burner is able to generate. For outdoor cooking applications, anything around 30,000 BTU should be just fine. The burner's body should be strong but not become brittle when hot and hence a heavy-duty cast iron body is preferred. It should have a gas lock safety feature, smooth gas control knobs, and should be able to work with standard propane cylinders. Burners with gas control knobs that also control ignition are preferred to other systems. Also, an electronic igniter system is better as it is much safer. Opt for a burner with exterior coating as this promotes its strength, durability, as well as easier cleaning.
There are two main varieties of propane burners - the tabletop and the self supporting type, with the latter type being the most preferred for outdoor activities. The self supporting burner carries along the propane cylinder in the same structure. This means that the structure has to be a sturdy one and not one made of some thin supports and sheet metal along with tiny fastening bolts. A firm structure preferably made from solid steel and put together using strong welds should be the minimum. This setup should carry a full propane cylinder with no problems. The final product is bound to be heavy so a set of casters will come in handy for easy mobility.
Some dealers supply the propane burners complete with woks. Woks are taking over as outdoor cookware as their convex nature allows one to prepare various dishes at the same time and healthily at that. Just because such a burner is used outdoors it does not mean that it cannot be beautiful. You can find some very good looking burners replete with their supports, bases and even their woks handles having impressive artistic designs. Some suppliers also offer a personalization service where the wok, the burner, and its structure, can feature your initials, company logos, emblem, or indeed any other designs that you may desire.

Propane cylinder question (cooking fuel)?
I have 2 tall (about 4 1/2 ft) propane cylinders that sit outside my kitchen window and is hooked up to my stove.
If you have propane in these type of cylinders, what size are the cylinders? I'm going to guess 50 gal each - any ideas?? (already contacted the company who has their name listed on the tank - they were out of the office when i called)
Thanks!
The propane dealer sells by the gallon - currently -
so - we can assume that I have 2 100lb cylinders and it will take 42 gallons (give or take) of propane to fill both tanks?
Propane cylinders are not rated in gallons. They are rated in weight because propane has been traditionally sold by weight. For instance, a standard BBQ cylinder is called a 20 lb cylinder even though it weighs a bit more than 20 lbs when filled. There is a larger one that is common to the RV world and it is a 40 lb'r. The taller ones that are owned by the propane companies are 100 lb, 250 lb and 500 lb cylinders. The horizontal "hot-dog" ones are 1000 lb units or larger.
The 100 lb cylinders are about a foot in diameter. Propane weighs 4.24 pounds per gallon. Therefore a 100 lb cylinder holds about 24 gallons of liquified gas, give or take. Liquid propane will expand to 270 times its volume when it changes from a liquid to a gas. That's why you can cook for a long time on such a small amount of propane.
