Pressure regulators for Propane
I've got a propane burner that has a 25 psi regulator and sounds like a fighter Jet in afterburner!!! When I do crawfish boils I have borrowed a friends burner to save time (2 pots at once) but his is only 15 psi and in the end doesn't save me much time cause it takes so long to bring an 80 qt pot of bugs to a boil.
I've googled regulators but so far what I've found they've rated them in BTU as opposed to PSI.
Anyone know where I can find what I'm looking for?
Also I just bought one of those propane dome heaters for my daughter for her B-day. It heats fairly well but the flame is kinda lazy. I thought about slapping one of those 25 PSI regulators on that puppy.....might name it the Binford 2000!!!

I will not have propane or natural gas in my house or anywhere on my property. It is nothing more than an unstable, legal explosive that's readily available to the general public. I've seen too much property destroyed and people hurt or killed to advise anyone on how to mess with it.

your gonna have to go to an actual propane place to get what your looking for and to answer your question on the regulator.all the low pressure regulators are preset if i rember irght from the factory for safety reasons. used to work fro a lp company for 3 yrs. lot more safety stuff out there now.

It may be that they don't put them on the newer burners.
I can bring 2 80qt pots to a boil before most others can get one pot boiling.
I did finally find an adjustable regulator that will crank up higher.
I can get up to 60 PSI on the one in the pick.

There are a lot of cheaper ones that will go to 10, 15 & some 20s.

I think your going a bit over board. If that's your belief, than you'd better get a bike. That's all an engine is, a controlled explosion that goes haywire sometimes.
In 28 years of firefighting and EMS, I have seen too many people burned, disfigured, made to suffer horrendous pain and in some instances, killed, because of either misuse of a compressed gas or because of an equipment failure. It happens more often than you could imagine, not just 5 or 10 times a year, but hundreds of times. And what really gets to me is the children who are innocently involved and made to suffer through no fault of their own.
In my town alone, about 18 years ago, the natural gas supplier had a high pressure regulator failure on a main line that feeds the town. The safety also failed due to what we theorize as a sudden input of high pressure from an initial zero pressure condition. This forced high pressure natural gas into low pressure mains all through town. Pressure regulators at house services failed as well because they were never meant to regulate pressure over 100 psi. It was Thanksgiving day and a lot of people were using gas to prepare meals, which meant stove valves were open and in use. Fire ***** emitted from stove tops, ovens and water heaters resulting in, (if I remember correctly), approximately 40 structure fires within a 30 minute period.
Granted, this was an isolated case. But as we later found out, it wasn't the first time this has happened country-wide.
Things like this tend to sour me on the alleged 'safety' of compressed gasses for consumer use.

Wow, I thought you were pulling our legs.
My Propane is regulated at 15 PSI at the tank and then to 11 ounces at the house.
I can't comprehend what it would do at 30 PSI........
And Chak is right, if I could heat economically without it, I would never have it on my property, seen really ugly things happen myself.

I just have the feeling that manufacturing of these things were dumbed down a bit to prevent the "STUPID" from their own stupidity.

It's simple and cheap!!! Looks just like what is on my Cajun Cooker but 5 psi more.
May have to order a couple of them.
