We recommend the thumper to be larger, I don't run a thumper but believe the concensus is that it is about 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the boiler. I personally would not invest in that still.

i run two thumpers both are sixth barrels for my keg. general rule should be around a third. once you start running them if the thumper is to small it really doesnt work right. you can wind up with blow through and you really dont get that secondary boiling going on either. hope that helps

That's not a serious thumper! Way too small and indeed a recipe for problems.
But it might be a slobberbox.
