Outdoor Propane Burner Recommendation?
 

I have to buy (or rent, I guess) an outdoor propane burner for steaming
up a bushel or two of blue crabs, clams, oysters, et cetera for our
annual seafood tent party.

In past years, I have steamed up the shellfish on our kitchen gas range,
using two big pots at a time, but I'd rather be outside with everyone
instead of being in the kitchen.

Any recommendations? I'll be using a 60-quart steamer a neighbor has.

Thanks.

Since you asked so nicely, yes.

Stay indoors so your outside guests can enjoy themselves.

I suggest you stay in the kitchen so your guests can enjoy themselves.

Maybe you have a neighbor with a propane turkey fryer. The burner and frame
should work fine.

Actually it's the landlady's party. And she was smart enough to assign
him kitchen duty while she entertains her guests.

Try to find one of those old twin burner Coleman Naptha stoves. Would
that be big enough?
I've used mine for sweet corn lots of times.

The burners they were selling with the turkey cooker setups are what
you want. Watch the garage sales and craigslist. These things show up
real cheap now and then. I suspect a lot were thrown away when the
"boil your turkey in oil" craze faded.

There's an idea. I'd only use it a couple times a year. I have a smaller
"indoor" crab and lobster steamer that's fine for the stovetop, although
the smell of shellfish cooking drives the cats crazy. If I had an
outdoor cooker, I could leave the smell from the shellfish...outdoors.

Never understood cooking turkey in oil when it is so easy to just roast
it in a pan in the oven, and avoid the grease and oil.

Funny as hell, watching the Dwarfs stumble over each other to
interject a nasty comment.....hahahahahahahaha
