Just finishing up my solid strut single tier brewstand. Thanks to all those who've posted photos and details of their builds, I definitely couldn't have come up with many of these ideas on my own. Anyways, I thought I'd post my build as it has a few different concepts that I haven't seen on here before.
First off, these guys rock: http://www.strutchannelfittings.com/ I ordered my stuff on Wed am and it was delivered (free shipping) on Thurs afternoon. I wanted to use solid strut for aesthetic reasons and it was unavailable locally and these guys had it. I really wanted a nice welded stainless stand but couldn't pull it off so this seemed to be the next best option for me. All told it took me about 2 hours to measure and cut all the pieces and another 4 hours or so to put it together to the point I'm at now.
One thing I wrestled with was making or buying a nice gas manifold but decided to forgo that for now and make the best use of what I already had which was a couple of Camp Chef burners. I cut off the legs and just used the whole burner/shroud/regulator assembly. Not ideal but it'll work perfectly fine for now and I can always upgrade later. I have one tank with a splitter to use for my HLT and MLT and the BK will have it's own tank.
Hope to finish up soon and post a couple more detail photos.
