So I decided to finally do it! It's made of all 1x1" .120 wall tube. It took about 9 hours to cut, weld, and grind down smooth. Another five or six for drilling, painting/prepping, assembly and all that jaz. Total with steel, burners, piping, tubing, casters, 30psi regulator, paint, and waterproof switch was about $430. I plan on just running one pump, and gravity feeding from the MT to the boil kettle. Still debating on 20 or 25 gallon kettles. If anyone has suggestions on those, that would be great! Edit: looks like I'm having troubles with the pictures.. give me a bit
Thanks! I got lucky. My geographic location provides relatively inexpensive living where most houses have shops on the property. I did one batch on my stove when I first started, and had a hell of a time bringing two gallons to a boil! Ha ha. The next day I picked up a gas burner, and life got a lot better.
Nice job, I like the layout with the L shape and the upper and lower burners. I'm curious about the burner orientation through, why did you orient them the way you did? It looks like you used a lot more yellow gas line than you needed to. If you rotated the lower burner and the left upper burner by 90 degrees it looks like you could have gotten away with much shorter gas lines.
Thanks! I did the L shape cause that's kinda how I had my makeshift stand setup, and it worked really well for me. At the time when I was gas line shopping, the only lengths I could find was 24 and 48". I originally had the bottom burner oriented towards the manifold, as well as the upper left one, but I really didn't like the way it looked with the excess lines hanging around.
Yeah, for some reason they didn't offer 36 or 12" lengths. It's okay though, worse things could happen! Ha ha
