Trailblazer you can also make them out of flat sheet and roll them on a slip roller that is how I made mine.

I think I payed 40.00 for the tube and sectioned and welded it myself. Seems reasonable to me. I would have had to pay for sheet stock anyway.

My first intention was to use my slip roller but 1/8" was pretty heavy. I wanted something thick enough that I could easily weld on and add to the strength it would give to the frame. For support under the kettle's.

Overkill? Probably, that's the way I roll.

Thanks. Made some headway today. Finally figured out the best configuration for my burners. At least for now! I need to get this thing buttoned up and give it a run to see what will need tweaked.

Sorry no pics, nothing new to see at this point.

Ron,

Are the burners you are using low or high pressure? How are you planning on mounting the standing pilot to the burners? I read that you are using the two stage regulator. I know that if you take your system specs into a propane dealer, they will get you into the right dual stage regulator.

Your build looks great. Keep us posted.

Thanks gbrewing, I have followed your work on the BCS site and took a look at your site. Can you tell me what size batch's you do? Any idea how long from sparge to boil?

With my Low Pressure Hurricanes as currently configured I get a 3 degree per minute rise. Seems OK, just need some comparisons. Hate to waste a lot of time and gas with the wrong burner.

I have the Honeywell 8610 Intermittent Pilot setup with spark igniter's on all three burners. To be controlled by BCS-460.

Ahh yes... Now I recognize the name! Another BCS'er.. I think your burners will work great!

I just wanted to make sure you weren't going to repeat my mistake at any point by trying to run the 0-30 psi adjustable regulator with the pictured gas valves.

I brew 5 or 10 gallon batches depending on what I am brewing. I usually brew the darks in 5 gallon batches and tend to brew 10 gallons of summer wheats, hef's, and "session" lawn mower beers during summer.

I have yet to time from sparge to boil but will be glad to let you know. Perhaps if I get some extra time tomorrow I will run a test and see what happens. I'm curious as well.

Great looking brutus. Looking forward to reading about how great it works!

Here is a comparison I did with the low pressure jet to the high pressure Banjo with video. http://www.gbrewing.com/2010/02/06/jet-burner-versus-banjo-burner/

It shows some side by side comparisons.
