Have you ever tried metal salvage yards? I found eleven 3 gallon corny's at local salvage at $20/each... great condition and the price unheard of.

Just got back to the states from a trip to playa. Thought i would share since it was quite hard to find. First off, Amazing time! For one... In my quest for cerveza artisanal though I was met with laughter, funny looks, and "we're still in a small town." One night my wife and I came across las...

Have you tried any metal salvage yards? In the Phoenix area, I find the 5 gal sankey's quite often. Then you're only spending the price per pound on stainless. Its the way to go if you're near any yards.

Thanks for the help guys! I actually got a cornie that the guy at the scrap yard thought was aluminum so I got it for $5. It is in fact SS and after researching it seems that there probably are not any aluminum cornies out there.

Obviously, I want something food grade and...

My new burner orifice showed up today and I took a video to show you the improvement. I hope it helps those that may have similar questions in the future. My question now is how high should I have the kettle above the burner? Will the flames be coming up the sides of my kettle at all? Will...

Thanks guys... just ordered those for my LP set up. Hope it helps the OP as well.

By the way... I don't mean to hi-jack this thread, just having a similar problem and I'm not having any luck figuring out what I have wrong with this set up

I purchased 3 brand new BG10 burners - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009JXYSW/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 - and purchased this brand new Bayou Classic high pressure regulator - http://www.bayouclassicdepot.com/m5hpr1_propane_regulator.htm I used lp thread tape to connect each fitting...

I've heard you can use the spray oven cleaner with a green scrubber. Rinse well.
