Hmm.. Now my brains bugging me to make a whole brick brew tree... I wonder what that would look like in the back yard. Pretty cool I would think.

Hey, if you don't mind could you post a pic or two on how that burner is mounted.

I'm designing mine at the moment and am a little stumped on a way to mount similar burners.

Cheers!

It's not really the bricks I was worried about but more the plastic horses underneath. Man, that's a LOT of weight for those.

The burner on the new stand looks a little too close to the vessel if you ask me. You ought to drop it at least an inch.

denimglen - Here's a couple more shots that show the brackets a little better. I can get a closeup if this doesn't give enough detail. They're basically just L brackets that I cut slots in so that I could adjust the burner height. Dunno if I've got enough adjustment room or not yet, but was trying to leave myself some flexibility.

Bobby_M - You may be right - hopefully I'll know more this weekend. For what it's worth, I'm using keggles, so the bottom isn't quite as close as it would be with a flat-bottomed kettle.

This is my current brewstand:

Still working on a design for a real brewstand, so for now, I think I will re-read this thread and drool....

First off I need to thank ScubaSteve for teaching us that wood is not to be feared as a sculpture medium . My rig is made of cedar, and is a definite clone of his. Although not finished yet, is operationable:



Denimglen, I use two hurricane burners on either end of the rig (the low pressure version of the banjo).



The mounting was pretty easy using leftover bits of the angle iron:



Since it will be outside all year(except winter), I have plans to build a removable top that goes on when the kegs are put away, and converts it into a bench!

Cheers,

Rhino

Thanks Rhino and MadDwarf, much appreciated.

Turns out my burners are different - they have 5 little 'feet' on the bottom.

Looks like I might just use a large piece of SS plate and make a bench-top type thing, can't think of any easy way to mount my burners

Lookin' good! I like the idea of turning your stand into a bench....it's all about stayin' off the SWMBO radar...

I also like how you mounted the Banjo.....they can be such a PITA to incorporate.....I know I stared at my rig for hours on end.
