I am looking to replace the spigot on my lobster steamer. will you unit withstand the heat from burner and boiling water?

sorry I took so long to answer but I am not on the computer much lately. The faucet was a little too big for the glass container I put it in but I was able the enlarge the hole. I would probably handle boiling water but not a fire. It is make of hard plastic.

I haven't tried any heated products with it but I really don't think it would hold up. Try some plumbing fittings.

I just used mine this weekend to brew beer on my Bayou Burner. Works great. Used it to fry turkey over my Bayou Burner for Thanksgiving too.

I think it would do fine over a small circumference fire (relatively modest base size. The handle should be fine as it is well above the base. And the spout opening is fairly small, so a steady steam stream should be easy.

I cannot speak to soup but I have brewed 15 batches of beer in this and I haven't had any burning. Scorching on the bottom is a common problem for home brewers but not with this pot. Very thick bottom on this thing. Hope this helps!

Jb makes different ones, depending on the material of faucet. My only concern are you drinking water from this faucet. Don't want to ingest even small amounts if it's in contact with your drinking water. Back to your question,,my hot tube is still working, no problems, just follow directions. Good luck.

I have used mine successfully on a Bayou brand fish cooker. I was concerned about stability but it worked fine. Great pot.

NO! I have poured boiling water in it, but do not place it on a stove and heat it because it will break!

I have stainless steel pots and have used the steamer twice. No problems at all!! This should not happen when these silicone items can take hundreds of degrees of heat. I am very puzzled about this one!

I would not recommend it. It's silicone. So I don't imagine it would with stand that constant amount of heat for the time it would take to steam something.

Nancy, I turn my electric stove all the way to *high* with this burner...it's cast iron, so, there are no worries. You have to be concerned with your percolator....is it glass? Then I would only go up to medium. I use vintage Pyrex flameware saucepans to cook with and they are glass....but they are a thick borosilicate glass and can withstand high temps. I also use a glass teapot, also Pyrex flameware, and put it on high to boil water....no problems. I have two of these burners and although the one side that was coated is all chipped off now, they work perfectly and appear that they will last for my lifetime.

Absolutely not. It will break. This is will be best used after your water has boiled in your standard tea staineless steel pot then poured into the glass leaf tea pot.

While I have not used boiling water, I've poured extremely hot water straight from my percolator into the pitcher. It should hold up just fine.

The only heat source I expose this grate to is boiling water. I use it to elevate jars when canning, so the glass jars are not sitting directly on the hot metal base and so that boiling water circulates freely around the jam jars. Boiling water is still cooler than the temperature most stove burners can achieve. I do not know exactly what metal it is made from, other than it does not rust. That information should be available from the manufacturer.

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.

I am currently using this burner with a 100qt (25Gal) pot for brewing. It can heat sparge water rather well (~168F), however using the 100qt as a boil kettle with about 15 gallons of wort produces only a rolling boil. With the lid on you'll get a vigorous boil, but you dont want to keep the lid on for boiling your wort. The 5PSI regulator and small burner dont put out enough BTUs to get a strong vigorous boil on a 100qt pot. For smaller 5 and 10 gallon batches in a 15 gallon pot this burner seems fine.

I wouldn't expect the spigot to rust at the handle unless you have a leak (maybe slow), or water is splashing up around the unit. It does appear to have a water resistant coating, so the water would need to get inside somehow. You probably should contact the manufacturer.

This device works great. I believe that you would have no problems at allI have a 15 gallon plastic barrel but am planning to use one of these and an immersable also. With metal it should conduct the heat better
