I'm over here now
I just installed my propane manifold and checked it for leaks so far it works okay, but I just wanted to get a double check to make sure I didn't do anything dangerous.

I built it using 1/2 black iron and sealed the joints with pipe sealant rated for gas. I used the yellow Teflon tape on the brass fittings and the flange fitting are dry fitted.

When I shut the burner off on the right for the first few times it would backfire. I adjusted the air mixture and it appears to be working better.

Seems okay to me! I'm actually in the works of designing a brutus 10 type system using those Blichmann burners. I would just start a stand from scratch, but I already have the burners (without the leg extensions) so I'm working on a way to use them but have them all rigidly mounted to a frame for my NG setup and control panel.

I think building this stuff is just as much fun as brewing!
