In hindsight, making a slide-able burner mount was a better idea than I initially expected. A couple pros: -) Only need 1 burner (although I have two, I often just pull out the 2nd one and only use 1 in because I'm lazy and don't wanna switch the propane plug) -) I can twist the burner...

Sorry - I just saw this post. So, regarding a heat-shield, I did think about it, but then completely decided not to. Honestly, I've used it on my driveway in some decent wind, and my heating was almost exactly the same as when there was no wind. Still, though, my plan was to add a bit of...

Awesome! I'm so happy that my plans turned out to be useful to someone else too! After several brews on the system, the only modification that I may still make is to put right-angle triangle gussets at the front of the burner-area to help prevent heat-wash from making my valves & sight-glasses...

So this weekend I tackled stand-mobility, as well as finishing up adding the center gusset. I bought the following 4" casters, and am incredibly happy with the purchase. Rigid wheels Dual-locking wheels Since I didn't want to deal with drilling holes to mount these, I just chose the "weld...

I don't think a SketchUp file can really be converted to a PDF, given that it's a 3d-rendering format. PM me if it's giving you some kind of error when you try to open it in SketchUp.

Fixed it. Link was typo'd.

No problem! Here is a link: Sculpture Side notes: There are a handful of things which I don't have in my rendering, such as the burner mounts, and the gussets. So, here are the dimensions (which I'll eventually add back to the rendering after I have everything done updated below)...

Next steps of the build are complete - the gussets are attached and stable. Given the fact that the back rail of my stand is lower than the front (to help facilitate heat venting out the back), I wanted to make sure that my gussets didn't hamper the flow of warm air out the back. So, I did...

Hey everyone! So, I've recently started building out my new brewstand to replace my ancient, fantastically ghetto 2-tier I've been brewing on for the last long while. I plan on documenting the process here, as well as highlighting a few of my thoughts along the way! The reason why I'm...

Steel is all 1/8" thick!
