I say go with the big one. You can throttle it back necessary but you can only get 55,000 out of the small one no matter what...
I doubt he is trying to get his house up to 375 degrees and keep it there...

What
size burner is needed if I want to use an 18 qt pot to fry fish?
I'm sure a 55,000 BTU burner is more than plenty for a 16 qt deep
fryer... 55,000 BTU fryers are rated for 40 pounds of frying medium,
which weighs more than 16 qts worth... the furnace that heats my entire
house is rated at 160,000 BTUs.
