Interested in cutting this steel up into 2 ft sections and laying it across two cross beams of a storage shelf... 2 bars will hold up a keggle with direct fire underneath (brutus style). This is an old garage rail. 1"x1.25" rectangle tube. 1/16th" thick all the way around. Will it hold? Wanna save money, but do not want to catch 5 gallons of boiling wort

That should be strong enough, but mock it up first and test it with cold water first.......If that works stand on it...or load up your pot with sand or bricks...
I've made hunting trees tands with1"X1" tubing with no problems.
