Is 200,000 BTU too much for everyday cooking?

For small pots, yes. This burner is meant for large volumes like a turkey fryer pot or a brew kettle. For smaller batches, a lower-output burner gives finer control.

What do I need to buy separately?

A propane tank, the pot or kettle you plan to heat, and oil or water for the cook. The burner and adjustable regulator are the unit itself.

Can I use it for home brewing?

Yes. It is rated for home brewing and can bring a full brew kettle to a boil. Expect fast heating and heavy fuel use on long boils.

Can it be used indoors or in a garage?

No. Propane burners of this output are for outdoor use with ventilation, away from flammable surfaces.

Does the adjustable regulator give a true simmer?

It lets you lower the flame, but a 200,000 BTU burner is coarser at low heat than a small stove. Use it for boiling and frying rather than delicate simmering.

Our take on the Bestfire 200,000 BTU Heavy-Duty Portable Propane Burner

The Bestfire is a single high-output propane burner rated at 200,000 BTU, built for outdoor cooking that needs serious heat: turkey frying, crawfish boils, home brewing and large stockpots. It is a bare-bones stand-and-burner unit with an adjustable regulator, so you supply the propane tank and pot. Against smaller 50,000 to 100,000 BTU turkey fryers, it heats big volumes faster and handles heavier pots, but it burns fuel quickly and gives you less fine control at low settings. It suits cooks doing big batches outdoors rather than anyone wanting a compact or indoor-capable stove.
