Widely available from homebrew supply shops, DIY superstores, and various online retailers, propane burners are the weapon of choice for many brewers. Available in different BTU ranges, these burners are typically standalone units that the user hooks up to a standard gas-grill-type propane tank. The heat output from most propane burners is usually adequate for partial and full boils. Some Brewers have had success with burners rated at 30,000 BTU for five Gallon Boils, Others prefer to go for 200,000 BTU units.
One convenient way to buy a burner is to purchase a turkey fryer kit. This will also provide you with a large pot - usually in the 30QT range which is useful as a hot liquor tun.
