My recollection is that a modification has to be made to a
propane burner if you want to use it with a Sanke Keg as a
brew kettle.
Does anyone have a URL for this modification?

The outer ring on my burner was the same size as the center of the ring
the keg would make if set on the ground, so the keg would just "balance"
on the burner. I added 3 bolts through the outer ring of the burner with spacers
and large fender washers which extend high enough to keep the keg from
moving to the side. Thus, the keg sits very stably on the burner.

Most that I have seen would not require a mod.
Just be sure the model that you have can hold the weight.

I have two of these and did not have to make any modifications for use with
my sanke.

LOL !!! Not that it matters, but I just realized I did not post the link in
my post. But I see that you already have a burner and thus need to make
modifications. Anyway, here is what I have.....

What type of burner do you have/thinking about getting?
Even some "value priced" propane rigs are pretty level and strong. Can
you tell us where we can see it?
Like to help,

This is the burner I got when I bought out another homebrewer.
It is definitly level as I have had no problems with a 10-gal
brew pot. I thought I had read that a modification was needed
for a half-barrel keg brew pot.
In another post, Bob suggested adding" 3 bolts through the outer
ring of the burner with spacers and large fender washers which
extend high enough to keep the keg from moving to the side."
I am going to look into doing that.

Get the pot, see what modifications might be needed to your burner. Mine
had three legs and I needed support on the outer perimeter...see my page for
details.

The outer ring on the bottom of my key/kettle is a bit larger
than the ring on my burner, so without modification, the
rounded part of the bottom of the keg sat on the burner
ring, and this was not very stable.
In exchange for some homebrew, a welder friend of mine
welded three short pieces of flatiron to the outside of the
burner ring, so the ring on the keg sits flat on them.
This is probably the equivalent of the "bolts and washers"
solution given by Bob.
As usual, homebrew is the solution to most problems.

It depends on the burner. If it's narrow enough that the burner will
fit inside the skirt of the keg, then the whole thing will be
fairly unstable. If your burner is wide enough that the keg can
sit on top, then you don't have to worry about it.
> Does anyone have a URL for this modification?
You basically just need to make the burner wider. Some people will weld
on some extra angle iron to give the keg a wider base to sit on.
