Would this work properly on a houseboat with 30amp? Or would I never reach a good heat on the burners?

I Use This Product For Candle Making And Homemade DIY Products And Trust Me The Heat Gets Very High. I Would Expect You Would Have No Trouble...

I used for cooking on a standard 120V and one burner can get reasonably hot at a time but don't expect to use both simultaneously with high heat- it takes forever to really get things cooking. Fine for reheating for about 3 months. I ignored other reviewers complaints about early failure of one or both burners and wish I hadn't. Better to buy locally somewhere with at least a 3 month return policy so you can get a replacement or your money back. Not a safe bet for an online purchase IMO.

i dont think you will ever get more than 60-75 k btus out of this burner, and that;s if you hook it directly to you gas meter outlet with a 3/4 connection which is what this burner's inlet connection is. getting a bigger meter won't help. you can run an entier house with 2 cntral heaters, a stove, a water heater, and more off of a 250,000 cubic foot meter, and you can run them all at once. keep in ing a standard 40 gallom water heaterdraws about 38,000btus. this burner is defintley bigger than that. i would think it would produce a bout twice that, so 2X38,000+74,000.

I use mine on a glass top range, even the heavy pressure cooker. Trick is to not cover the entire burner with the pot, leave a little exposed and the heat regulates itself properly. If I put the pots so that they cover the entire burner, the burner doesn't heat properly.

I have used it on my lowest burner output (gas stove) on anywhere from a setting of six-eight. Have not had any issues.

Well I don't know much about the electrical systems on a boat but it operates on 120 volt house current.So if you can run normal appliances on your boat it would be an ideal galley stove, since it is compact and has two burners on top. The oven is large enough to cook a 12 inch frozen pizza .Now you cannot operate the burners and the oven at the same time.You can either use the two burners (or one depending on what you need ) or the oven, but not both.the oven is also convection which makes it nice for quick use.I hope this information will be helpful to you .

We use it to cook lobsters and have probably put 30 lbs of lobsters with it half full of water. Hope that helps. It is very heavy duty and sturdy. Not our first burner but definitely the best so far.

Yes, you really should. It might not always run 30 amps continuously when it's on, but if you have anything else on it, you really risk tripping the breaker. (Obviously, 20A or lower breakers would not do at all.)

I was very unhappy with mine as the bottom warped so badly that it wouldn't sit flat on the burner (electric stove). Thus it would never get hot enough. I had to use a gas burner on my gas grill to cook. I returned my purchase

I just used the ball valve isolation that I connected the burner to as a rough sort of throttle valve. My biggest issue was getting enough air flow to keep the flame hot. My kettle is very sooty now. Other than that it is a pretty good burner for the price, hard to beat.

The largest burner on our electric stove top would take forever to heat up this pot if it was 1/2 full of water. Additionally, this pot wouldn't work in the last three kitchens I've had because microwaves mounted above the stoves don't allow enough clearance -- it's a really tall pot. I'd recommend doing some measuring and specification research if you have no plans to purchase a propane burner for outdoor use.

I would assume that it would get hot enough but may not have even heat distribution with the burners being spaced apart from each other. The gas grill works well since it seems to have even heat across the grill grates

I ran an AC unit off this that was rated at 6.3 amps (+ surge) and it got slightly warm but not a concern........if you can afford it, i would get the next one up from this unit......however, this may work, but the hotter it gets the less life it may have/ possible fire hazzard

I'd suggest a circuit with a 20amp minimum. Preferably 25-30amp. Theses heaters draw a lot of power. (And no, its not a good idea to put a 25-30amp fuse in what was intended to be a 15amp circuit. The wiring is a smaller gauge and can't handle the current)

300 Watt can heat a larger fish tank. Be careful not to drop it as it has a thin glass tube that the water travels through and it will crack and leak if you do drop it.

I don't know. Mine are installed on the flybridge of a boat where they would pretty much run full time at any setting. I can tell you the heat disbursement horizantally is next to nothing. all the heat goes upward. They take a fair bit of time to prime for the first time after hooking up the gas. but overall I can't think of anything else that I would go with. a good buy.

I have used it with high heat on an electric range with on problems so far yes. I returned a cuisinart pot of similar cost that warped on the bottom after one use for this pot.

I use a Bayou Classic High Pressure Cooker, which is a pretty diesel burner. I have had no issues with residual heat- especially because of the welded fitting. I have been using it for the past 6 months or so, a couple times a month, without a problem. I do not even think there are any heat marks on the bottom of the pot- good quality.
