i am in the process of moving over to AG....sorry, hi! im pretty sure this is my first post, but hopefully not my last, i love the forums, and there is soooo much information here.....anyway, ive put together a 3 tier system, and am using 2 turkey fryers ('cause i got a GREAT deal on 2), one for the the hlt, and one for the brew pot. ive also got my mlt done....i guess i should get on with the question...
how would you suggest measuring water going to mlt, and then again for sparging. i dont know if its possible to add a sight glass on the exterior, due to being exposed to an open flame from the fryer. like i said, im still new, but am learning quickly.....any suggestions?
Or you can buy one of mine if you want all stainless.
I have 2 of Bobby's and they are great. I just make sure I hang that side over the edge of the burner side so it doesn't get too much heat. It is nice to be able to see how much wort you are boiling off w/out sticking the spoon in.

for a 3 tier system you should probably go with a sight glass on the HLT. No reason to climb a ladder to dip in a measuring stick. You should be fine with the regular sight glasses, brass or stainless fittings and polycarbonate tube. Pyrex tube would be more heat resistant but more breakable as well.
