Have Burner Will Travel (subject)...JOB: Boiling lobsters stinks. A 2-gallon pot takes freakin' forever to boil on a regular burner. Ever note how a Coleman stove sounds? The burner sounds like a torch and without a single doubt the flame is way way more intense even though the burner is smaller than a stovetop burner. Outdoor stove burners are way large for more output. Mr. Picky here wants a freestanding single burner that has a standard pipe connection, compact size that sounds like an enraged F-104 during takeoff (like a Coleman burner).Any ideas?

Why not one of these CAMP CHEF 60,000 BTUThey have several variations.

I think you're looking for one of the small burners on a stand like a turkey fryer. I have a smoker set up that can be broken down to just the burner and stand. It will boil a big pot of water without problem. Lo0bsters are scarce up here but corn is abundant. I sometimes am enlisted to boil a lot of corn for gatherings and the burner does a great job.

I remember a scout leader from some time ago (I was a boy scout) who had constructed a big stove based around a residential water heater burner. I think he had gone to a few successively smaller sizes of orifices before the output got down to something sort of reasonable. It certainly was fast at heating a big pot of whatever.The Coleman burners probably sound loud because they're running at a higher pressure than the RV stove burner. It may not be a heat output question.

Mex,Here's what we carry along for:- Outside frying/warming, instead of outside BBQ'ing with our Weber.- As a frying backup in case our coach propane cooktop/system should ever fail out in the middle of nowhere (for warming we'd use the generator powered microwave).

We go diving for Lobster in the Florida Keys. Spanish, Slipper or Spiny Lobster, are different than Maine Lobster, but still quite delicious.

Mex,

Aren't lobsters (almost) primarily a cold water crustacean?

Where/how are you getting them down there ... especially ones that need cooking? California coast warm water versions?

Crabs I can understand - but lobsters. :h

lan-gos-ta: Spiny lobster with small claws found in the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico.

Mex- there is always the high tech natural way:

Boiling a pot of lobsters is exactly why we carry a Woodland Power Stove! You will not find a better-built, easily stowed, powerful unit that can hold an enormous lobster pot!

Hi, we often need to heat a large pot of water in a short time for groups of folks on our river running trips. The popular ones are the Partner Blaster, the Woodland Power Stove or the Camp Chef. You can google these. My preference is the Power Stove. We take along a 10 gal propane tank for it but you could probably use the propane system on your camper. It heats a couple of gallons to a boil in minutes and folds into a nice flat package.
