Any one seen one of these before? - Gas burner

[Funk then Funk1]

So I've been slowly getting my gear for my venture into BIAB.
On the weekend I picked up this gas burner from a garage sale, the bloke who I bought it from didn't have any info about it other than he used it to cook his keg-hangi. I was wondering if anyone here may have seen one like this before or have any info about it?
When he told me that he'd let me have it for $5, there was no way that I was leaving without it (I still think I should have bartered him down).

That's an italian spiral burner, should work very well
may need a medium pressure or adjustable regulator if it doesn't have one already

Thanks,
I only have a standard bbq regulator at the moment, I might have a look around for an adjustable one.

And I thought mine for 40 bucks was a bargain....

Spork is spot on.

 

[MastersBrewery]

we should have a bargain of the year thread, this would rank quite well. Nice bit of kit!

Keg King's adjustable reg should work well, they're $30 from KK or probably a little more from your LHBS if they stock KK gear

Thanks everone, yeah I though it was a bit of a bargin even though I didn't know exactly what it was. I was looking for a 2 or 3 ring but I thought from the look of it, that it should do the trick. Might have to hit a few more garage sales to try to pick up a $5 med pressure/adjustable reg to go with it.

very similar to my Chinese knock-off burner. I love it and highly recommend them, with a variable regulator recommended too.

Chinese burner pic. I think you'll agree that you have the copy. Still goes hard, though.

Drill out the holes as they close up after a whille with rust and flakey stuff.

Actually any cast iron burners need the holes drilled out periodically.

Nice mate! I paid $90 for mine which is similar, thought that price was OK. It's good to hear someone not rushing into buying everything at once...like me

Anyone had experience with these: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OzMade-QualityAdjustable-Regulator-1-8m-LPG-Gas-Hose-of-Cooktop-Wok-Burner-Stove-/260945323505?pt=AU_Outdoor_Living_BBQs_Cookware&hash=item3cc18da5f1&_uhb=1

I need to upgrade my BBW regulator used with my Italian Spiral burner...nice but not enuf grunt.

I used one for years prior to BM. You need the H.P. Reg though. While I only ever used it on the lowest setting its still 10 times more powerful than a std BBQ reg.

for that price with shipping, it would be cheaper for you to get the one from KegKing that sp0rk mentioned above. I picked up a high pressure one for my spiral, and it sure pumps out some heat now!

$5 - absolute bargain!

HP regs from Auscrown as well

FWIW I use a Beerbelly adjustable medium pressure reg for my italian spiral. Works a treat and can really crank out some heat. Looks like the KK one's a bit cheaper though.
