Bayou Classic Adjustable Propane Regulator with Hose - 0-40 PSI, 48-Inch - Plastic

Works as expected

I live in New Orleans, and we boil a lot of seafood here, so having a good boiling rig is a staple in every true Southern home. Well, I recently purchased a complete boiling setup from my local Academy Sports, which came with the boiling pot, jet burner stand, and propane regulator/hose. The only problem was, due to the massive size of the 160qt pot and the low volume output of the regulator, it took absolutely forever to get a good rolling boil going. After a quick search on Amazon, I found this awesome high pressure/high volume regulator, and wow, what a difference. Cranking this thing wide open really makes my jet burner sound like a "jet", lol. It actually put out so much volume that I found the single propane tank would get so cold from the rapid release of propane that it would cause the pressure to drop lower than normal, so I actually ended up rigging up a dual tank/dual regulator system, and now I can run the two tanks wide open for extended periods of time without any loss in pressure. Yes, it's a sweet setup. If you're looking at this for a small boiling pot or turkey fryer, it's going to be extreme overkill. This thing is meant for pots that are 80qts and above in my opinion, and the actual adjustment valve itself isn't all that precise. You almost have to unscrew it to the point of coming completely out for it to stop the flow of gas, and then it seems to put out about 100% of it's capacity with the adjustment screw only screwed in about half way. Like I said, it is meant for super high output, either on or off, and that's it. I bought two, and I would definitely buy it again.

Works well.

The knob to thread into the propane tank could be better: the plastic is not connected to the brass, so you have to push and turn together to thread to the propane tank. I suppose it's harder to unthread from the propane tank this way, so it could be a feature, depending on how frequently you burn through propane. The regulator works well - no complaints here. It is also very large (obvious from photo), which isn't a huge concern for me. This was perfect for completing my homebrew setup (3-burner propane manifold).

Exactly what I needed. The regulator is really precise and I can saute vegetables, cook bacon or make a gumbo. Love cooking outside

Works as advertised and easy to control cooker temperature!

This product worked for about 3 boils and then it started to get stuck i am not sure what is wrong with it so i went to lowes to get a different one and I haven't had a problem with the lowes one and i have been using it for about a year now.

I'm 6 years into buying the product as my last regulator went bunk. I boil a lot of seafood (lots of crawfish boils when they are in season) and year in and year out, it performs. Gets my 100 qt pot up to temp very quickly. Please note, these are intended for jet burners, not a stove or fish fry burner. It does do through propane quick but that's what its designed to do - creating a lot of heat in a short amount of time requires more fuel. If you regularly boil seafood on an outside burner, buy this product if you don't already have a high pressure regulator of at least 30 lbs psi.

They say in the American south these are used for cooking. I’m a Canadian who lives alone and mostly microwaves supper. I do forge and smelt though, and this creature has incredible control and power. Combined with a forced air blower, it allowes me to reach melting temperatures in under 30 seconds. So impressed by my neighbours to the south. They build a fine regulator, even for a microwave guy.

works great lots of control of flame and heat output

Perfect meets my needs.fast delivery.
