Why is the Bottom of My Kettle Black?! - How to avoid soot on your kettle

Показать описание

One of the problems you may run into when using a turkey fryer to boil your beer is an accumulation of black soot on the bottom of your kettle. Many people have recommendations on cleaning the soot off your kettle, but that doesn't address the problem.

How do you make your burner clean-burning so the soot doesn't accumulate? This tip should help a bunch.

I have 2 of the banjo's and you are right, they carry a pretty clean flame. The ole turkey burner was tough to clean up. Nice tip. Cheers!

You read my mind...exactly what I was searching for. Thanks for that!!

If you're using an LPG ring or cooker, it could be that the gas / air mix is incorrect, and this causes sooting by way of yellow flames and / or yellow tipped blue flames. If this is the case, it might be worth checking the adjustment of the gas air mixture shutter / collar / screw and twisting this until you get a totally blue flame. This usually solves the problems. LPG butane and propane gas needs significantly more air to burn cleanly.

When you make that adjustment, does that increase the temperature?

Good tips brother. Keep 'me rolling. I've just bought a banjo style burner so this was perfect timing to help me dial in the mix. Cheers!

Thanks for the tip BUT... HOW do you CLEAN the BURNER that has ACCUMULATED SOOT INSIDE of it? If you don't clean the burner, the adjustment will still produce black soot.

Should I blow it out with compressed air - dip the burner head in a light mix of muriatic acid - dip it in another chemical? I'm trying to not have to buy another head because most will have to be retrofit or modified into an older unit. Thanks in advance.

Thank you! I was just ignoring it since I brew outside. Seems like it probably wastes a little fuel as well if it's not all burning..

Thank you couldn't figure out why mine was burning yellow.

I've found a bunch of thick carbonized junk in my burners, which was causing soot-up on my kettle. I'm not sure if it was the result of several boilovers, or something left over from the casting process. Broke it up with a coat hanger wire, cleaned them out, and they're burning clean again. One was a banjo burner, the other was a jet burner.
