  • Rolling boil in a jiffy
Color: Black
Even flame rapidly brought 6 gallons of wort to a rolling boil. Both 8 &10 gallon pots were stable on burner. Reasonable control of flame level allowed simmering.

  • Works as it should
Color: Black
Great, product much easier than using a stove top to heat your wort. Easy to use and works as expected.

  • Horrible welds, showed up broken.
Color: Black
For the amount of money you spend on this product you’d think the welds would be incredible and sturdy but it showed up to my house broken. Pretty disappointing, luckily the woman in customer service was able to help me out and i ordered another one. If it shows up better and NOT broken, i will change my review rating. And rate it based on it’s ability. ... show more

  • Perfect for homebrewing/pressure canning
Color: Black
I tried using a turkey fryer in the past for brewing and it was a pain. No temperature adjustment and had to deal with a timer that would shut off the gas supply. This burner is fantastic. I am able to adjust the regulator and obtain a precise temperature during the brew. I actually used it first when my wife was showing a friend how to can with pressure sealing the jars. We had to used the burner because they had an induction cooktop and our pressure canner is aluminum. That being said, I was able to maintain the pressure at 5-6 PSI for the required time with regulator adjustment. This burner meets/exceeds my expectations and needs. ... show more

  • Works great, a little lacking in quality
Color: Black
This unit functions great. Brings 7 gallons of water to a boil quickly. Nice and stable without any worry of it falling over. No leaks. However, the quality is lacking a bit. After only 2 uses, it already started to rust in spots. Any burner not stainless will rust, but I didn't expect it after only 2 uses. Out of the box, the gas burner piece wobbled a bit and has only gotten worse with each use. Not a bad burner for your first one, but I'd expect to upgrade after a year or so. ... show more

  • Solid Burner
Color: Black
Overall, this is a solid burner at a good value for homebrewing. It kicks out plenty of heat to get water and wort boiling and is solidly built. When you first get it set up, you may want to run it for a little while with nothing on it because the paint peels/burns off, and this will keep it from interfering with your boil. ... show more

  • Dark Star Delivers For Deep Frying Turkeys
Color: Black
This thing is amazing! I used it to fry two turkeys over the holidays. The Dark Star was a champ and far more superior than the “turkey fry kits” that come with a burner. It was incredibly sturdy and I had absolutely no concerns of instability with the turkeys frying, even with multiple turkeys being cooked back to back. I had it burning for well over two hours without any issues. It also just looks cooler compared to the other burners out there. I read on one of the reviews the Dark Star should only be used for home brewing - admittedly, not sure why, it did a fantastic job with my turkeys. Spend the extra dollars and get the Dark Star. ... show more
