Best gas burner to get for boiling out heads outdoors

Get a large burco boiler

See my post above - #13. At this time of year, trying to get it to hold a rolling boil is very difficult. Adding 3" of insulation to the outside has helped but trying to do this outside now in current temps is IMHO a non-starter.

I use a tiny butane camping stove. The key is getting the water and pot really boiling on a proper indoor cooker first, then any old small stove has no problem maintaining the boil.

Not sure about this we use Burco's all the time for boiling water for tea and cooking on camp and no issues getting it to keep a good rolling boil no matter the weather - have you tried propane rather than butane


but failing that please for my sanity do not mess about with roofing torches or crappy small camping stoves just get a paella burner

Hi Sol

See my post #14 above - this was in use in Dorset.

There's a lot of surplus catering equipment that comes up on auction sites (eg RamCo) and you might be able to get a surplus boiling pot for a reasonable price.



This was in a previous auction in December:

Hobart B2O7MA6IBG-10 60 ltr boiling kettle - serial number P46207739 - new

Try using an induction hob and steel pan on a dry day, gets up to temperature and far faster than gas.

Burco water heater.

Few on EBay.

I picked up one of these at Coventrys Recycling facility for free, well nobody complained at the time, on a new plug and still working in Germany

I was going to reccomend one of these, which is what I use, but they are now pretty pricey. I paid about £20 quid for mine. I think in the long run though it will still offer savings over gas.

Bu**er I bought six of them at Franconia Wurzburg for 25€ each and slowly sold them on at around 60€.

They are good bits of kit.

I just use a camping stove and large pot. Like others have said heat up on the kitchen stove first - I then sometimes cover with aluminium foil around the antlers to keep the heat in, a low simmer is really all you need.
